The
Arthritis Research Campaign
|
The
Arthritis Research Campaign (arc) have a vested interest in athletes
as they present later in life with painful knees and hips which
quite often need replacing. If you know anyone who has had a
hip/knee/other joint replaced you will know of their work if not
their name. Athletes can download free information on protecting
their joints, exercising safely etc and at the same time hopefully
decide to support them?

SPORTident
SPORTident
equipment is used worldwide to identify, time and score competitors in
many different types of event. The competitor carries a small electronic
SI-Card. This is dipped into electronic stations, which are located at
each checkpoint. At task based events the SI-Card may be used to record
successful completion of a task. The SI-Card stores a list of the
locations and the times they were visited.
At
the end of a set of activities, the contents of the SI-Card are downloaded
into a computer. Each competitor is immediately given a printout thay
provides a summary of their performance. Full results may be displayed at
the event and uploaded onto a website.
The
number of applications for SPORTident are limited only by the imagination.
It has been used at events with more than 15,000 competitors!
