1. A method of comparing athletic information relating to a user performing an athletic activity, the method comprising:

  • receiving, by an athletic parameter measurement device, electrical signals from one or more sensors associated with the user during performance of athletic activity in a first athletic activity session;

    processing, by the athletic parameter measurement device, the electrical signals;

    transmitting, from the athletic parameter measurement device to a computing unit, the processed signals;

    generating, by the computing unit during the first athletic activity session and based on the processed signals, a first set of athletic data;

    retrieving a second set of athletic data corresponding to the first set of athletic data from baseline athletic activity data, wherein the baseline athletic activity data comprises a plurality of sets of athletic data previously generated for athletic activity performed by the user at different times during a second athletic activity session different from the first athletic activity session, and wherein the second athletic activity session is selected by the user for comparison with the first athletic activity session;

    selecting, by an athletic activity feedback control unit, a time-dependent athletic data value from the second set of athletic data;

    receiving user input defining at least one parameter of the first athletic activity session;

    determining, by the athletic activity feedback control unit, a duration of the first athletic activity session based on the at least one parameter and the time-dependent athletic data value; and

    selecting, by the athletic activity feedback control unit musical content meeting the determined duration of the first athletic activity session;

    comparing the generated first set of athletic data with the retrieved second set of athletic data;

    determining, by the athletic feedback control unit and based on the comparison, whether a value of at least one metric of the first set of athletic data is within a predefined proximity range relative to a corresponding value of a corresponding metric of the second set of athletic data;

    selecting, from a feedback data group including a plurality of sets of feedback data, a first feedback data set to audibly communicate to the user in response to determining that the value of the at least one metric of the first set of athletic data is within the predefined proximity range relative to the corresponding value of the corresponding metric of the second set of athletic data, wherein the predefined proximity range is greater than zero; and

    selecting, from the feedback data group, a second, alternate feedback data set to audibly communicate to the user in response to determining that the value of the at least one metric of the first set of athletic data is not within the predefined proximity range of the corresponding value of the corresponding metric of the second set of athletic data, the second feedback data set being configured to influence the user'"'"'s performance of the athletic activity relative to the first feedback data set.
