PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system capable of monitoring physiological and athletic performance characteristics of a subject.SOLUTION: The system includes a sensor subsystem and a processor subsystem which is in a communication state with the sensor subsystem. The sensor subsystem includes: at least one respiratory sensor disposed proximate to the subject and configured to detect a respiratory characteristic of the subject and at least one physiological sensor disposed proximate to the subject and configured to detect a physiological characteristic of the subject. The sensor subsystem is configured to generate and transmit at least one respiratory signal representing the respiratory characteristic and to generate and transmit at least one physiological signal representing the physiological characteristic. The processor subsystem is configured to receive at least one of the at least one respiratory signal and the at least one physiological signal.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT
