Permission reasons.
Network communications - full Internet access. The crash reporting system want this. Also I collect usage stats via flurry.com. I am really interested what phones it is installed on and what ANT+ sensors it is used with. You can switch this off from the options.
Hardware controls - ANT radio access. I won't be able to do much without this one.
System tools - modify global system settings, prevent phone from sleeping. There is an option to keep ANT active when the phone is in airplane mode which us useful for saving power, this needs to modify the system settings. You still need to do the airplane mode entry yourself. This feature needs at least version 2.6 of ANT Radio Services. If we are actively monitoring the ant radio the phone will not sleep, the screen may still go off though.
Bluetooth - in order to support the Bluetooth Heart rate monitors.
ANT Compatible phones.
