1. A fitness monitoring system for monitoring physiological parameters of a subject engaged in a physical activity, comprising:
- a garment adapted to cover at least a portion of a subject'"'"'s chest;
a data acquisition subsystem configured to continuously, synchronously, and simultaneously generate a plurality of data streams representing parameters of a subject, wherein the data acquisition subsystem includes at least a first sensor and a second sensor, wherein the first and second sensors are responsive to changes in distance therebetween, wherein the data acquisition subsystem is configured to generate and transmit a data stream representing a change in the distance between the first and second sensors, and wherein the first and second sensors are proximate to a subject'"'"'s chest region when the garment is worn by the subject; and
a processor subsystem in communication with the data acquisition subsystem and configured to receive the data streams continuously, synchronously, and simultaneously, wherein the processor subsystem is configured to determine a correlation between information contained in the received data streams.

Abstract
The present invention is directed to methods and systems of data interpretation and inference making that are possible when a multitude of physiological or performance signals are captured continuously (or pseudo-continuously), synchronously, and simultaneously. In some embodiments, physiological or performance context is added to any individual data stream when combined with others.
