1. A system for evaluating athletic performance during an exercise period, the system comprising:
an exercise station;
a sensor communicatively coupled to the exercise station and configured to measure a performance parameter, wherein the exercise station comprises a pair of pedals and a flywheel, and wherein the performance parameter is one or more of a pedal cadence, a rotational speed of the flywheel, or a power output; and
a display unit configured to display a performance metric, wherein the display unit displays the performance metric at an end of the exercise period, the performance metric corresponding to a percentage difference between a target parameter and the performance parameter during the exercise period;
wherein the exercise station is a stationary bike, the sensor is a power meter, and the performance parameter is a power output measured during one or more sustained regions of the exercise period, and the target parameter is a target power output calculated at least in part based on a tempo of an audio selection played during each of the one or more sustained regions of the exercise period.
