football, VAR enables match
officials to review critical
decisions, aiding referees in
assessing and determining
potential infractions. This
reassessment has proven
decisive in influencing
disciplinary measures imposed
on teams.
Fencing Costume: Given the
fast-paced nature of fencing,
relying solely on judges' visual
acuity to determine match
outcomes would invariably
introduce inaccuracies. To
mitigate this, intelligent sensors
have been incorporated into foils
and swords, capable of detecting
the impact of each strike on
opponents. Upon activation,

these sensors illuminate a
signalling device. The successful
operation of this technology
relies on the transmission of a
small electrical current
throughout the length of the
costume.
Smart Watch: Smartwatches
have become increasingly
ubiquitous. They range from
basic models for casual athletes
to state-of-the-art devices
designed to monitor elite
athletes' performance with
exceptional accuracy. These
watches measure vital statistics
such as heart rate, calorie
expenditure, step count, and
even blood oxygen levels.
Smart Fabric: Another
groundbreaking technology that
propels the sporting realm
forward is smart fabric, a material
interwoven with sensors capable
of collecting various forms of
data. Smart fabric garments
possess an array of applications,
from monitoring an athlete's
heart rate to recording muscle
movements and calculating
calorie expenditure.
These are just a few examples
of the vast array of technologies
impacting the sporting
landscape. With each passing
day, the industry strives to
innovate further, improving
athlete performance and
spectator experiences through
the incorporation of cutting-edge
technology.

application, called “Meri LiFE” (My Life) to catalyze youth
action for climate change. This app is inspired by the concept

Meri LiFE is a mobile application which is inspired by the concept
of LiFE, envisioned by the Prime minister at COP26, helps us a
sustainable life style instead of mindless and wasteful consumption.
Mission LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment) mainly focuses on
bringing about behavioural changes in individuals through simple
easy to do actions.
With the digital penetration in India through Meri LiFE app, it will
help in creating structured way to track the progress being done
regarding Mission LiFE. It will guide the users to participate in series
of life related tasks under the following 5 themes - save energy, save
water, reduce single use plastic, sustainable food system and adopt
healthy lifestyle. This will provide a gamified experience among the
users which will maximize the motivation and engagement regarding
sustainable use of environment. They will also learn new things
which they can share with their friends, family members, neighbours
etc. Many will be inspired after watching the activities and will also
try to to adopt the same.
Through simple actions in daily lives large climate impact can be
achieved if we start awareness for saving the environment through
ways like using the Meri LiFE app. If the Mission LiFE is adopted
