Abstract
An exercise assisting apparatus including a cycling machine, a rotation sensor for detecting pedaling movement of the cycling machine, a pulse sensor for detecting the pulse rate of the user, an exercise monitoring unit for monitoring the pulse rate of the user based on the detection results of the rotation sensor and the pulse sensor and a monitor for displaying a background image and a role-playing character. The apparatus also includes an image processor for causing the role-playing character to make a simulated motion related to the pedaling movement within the background image on the monitor based on the detection result of the rotation sensor, a game executing unit for causing the roll-playing character to jump, and a game evaluating unit for giving a higher evaluation when a landing position after the jump is closer to the position reached when the jump is made at a preset target pulse rate.
