1. A system for monitoring a physiological parameter of a cyclist, comprising:

  • a garment configured to be worn by the cyclist;

    a plurality of sensors including one or more sensors fixedly coupled to a crotch portion of the garment and configured to measure a perineal arterial occlusion force;

    a signal processor operatively coupled to the sensor, wherein the signal processor is configured toreceive a signal from one or more sensors of the plurality of sensors, the signal indicative of the measured perineal arterial occlusion force,receive a user-selected perineal arterial occlusion force level, andgenerate an alert in response to the measured perineal arterial occlusion force;

    wherein the garment is configured to position the one or more sensors fixedly coupled to the crotch portion of the garment proximate the left and right pudendal arteries of the cyclist when the garment is worn by the cyclist; and

    wherein the signal processor is configured to generate the alert based on a comparison of the measured perineal arterial occlusion force and a user-selected perineal arterial occlusion force level.
