An exercise feedback system calibrates sensors of an athletic garment worn by an athlete while performing exercises. The sensors can record physiological data such as muscle activation. The system instructs the athlete to perform a calibration workout. The system generates a calibration value based on physiological data from the calibration workout and/or user information. The calibration value indicates, for example, the predicted maximum amplitude for the muscle activation of a particular muscle group (for example, glutes, hamstrings, or quadriceps) of the athlete. The system can update the calibration value over time as the system receives additional physiological data from subsequent exercises performed by the athlete. The system may determine a confidence level of the calibration value and may update the calibration value if the confidence level becomes too low. The system provides biofeedback to the athlete generated based on the calibration value. |
