Detecting Neuromuscular Signals at a Wearable Device to Facilitate Performance of Physical Activities, and Methods and Systems Thereof

Systems and methods are described for using such signals detected by neuromuscular-signal sensors of a wearable electronic device when a user is performing an activity. Methods are described for adaptively adjusting a rate of physical activity performed by a user while the user is wearing the wearable electronic device. An example method includes operations for using one or more sensors located at a wearable electronic device in conjunction with detecting that the user is performing a physical activity at a particular activity rate: (i) detecting, using a neuromuscular-signal sensor located at the wearable electronic device, a level of exertion of the user, and (ii) based on a determination that the level of exertion is different than a baseline level of exertion by at least a threshold amount, determining an adjustment to the particular activity rate while the user is performing the physical activity.
