1. A system for identifying fatigue sources for a user, comprising:

  • a processor;

    a first sensor and one or more second sensors, wherein at least one of the one or more second sensors is a movement monitoring device configured to detect movement of the user'"'"'s body; and

    at least one computer program residing on the processor,wherein the at least one computer program is stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium having computer executable program code embodied thereon, the computer executable program code executed by the processor and configured to;

    detect a fatigue level for the user from the first sensor when the first sensor is worn by the user;

    receive fatigue contribution data for the user from the one or more second sensors when the one or more second sensors are worn by the user, wherein the fatigue contribution data comprises data of fatigue contribution parameters, and wherein the fatigue contribution data comprises activity data from one or more hours prior to the detection of the fatigue level of the user;

    determine a relative contribution of each of a plurality of fatigue sources to the fatigue level of the user based on the received fatigue contribution data, wherein the relative contribution of at least one fatigue source is derived from the fatigue contribution data received from the movement monitoring device;

    identify a primary fatigue source for the user out of the plurality of fatigue sources based on the relative contribution of each of the plurality of fatigue sources to the fatigue level of the user, wherein the identify the primary fatigue source for the user out of the plurality of fatigue source comprises ranking the plurality of fatigue sources, wherein the processor is configured to maintain historical information about the fatigue levels, the fatigue contribution parameters, and the fatigue sources to create and update a fatigue profile for the user based on the historical information; and

    display the primary fatigue source for the user on a screen,wherein the display includes a feature for allowing a user to confirm the identified primary fatigue source.
