1. An apparatus for monitoring physical activity of a user, comprising:

  • a controller;

    a garment configured to be worn on a portion of a body of the user, the garment including;

    a set of electrode bases such that a fabric of the garment is configured to cause each of the set of electrode bases to forcibly abut a skin of the user when the user wears the garment,a set of electromyography sensors, each electromyography sensor coupled to one of the set of electrode bases, each of the set of electromyography sensors configured to acquire bio-potential signals indicative of muscle activation, anda set of conductive leads, each conductive lead coupled with an electrode base and configured to couple to the controller; and

    a processing system including a first module configured to receive information characterizing physical properties of the user, a second module configured to receive signals from the set of electromyography sensors, and a third module comprising a calibration architecture configured to calibrate the set of electromyography sensors, and a fourth module comprising architecture implementing logic for monitoring user performance and generating user feedback based upon;

    the physical properties of the user, signals received from the calibrated set of electromyography sensors when the user performs an exercise, and a system schema representing reference muscle exertion and comprising relative muscle exertion levels of a plurality of muscles.
