Abstract

An exercise apparatus comprising an exercise device such as a stationary bicycle (1) on which a user may exercise in use, the exercise device having at least one sensor (200, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500) for monitoring, in use, how the user is exercising on the exercise device, and a microprocessor based unit (800) having a display (900), the microprocessor being arranged to alter the display in response to inputs received from the or each sensor, in which the microprocessor unit is arranged to determine, in use, using the output of the or each sensor, the power exerted by the user in their use of the exercise device and from the power exerted determine the ratio of the power exerted to the user's body mass, and to alter the display, in use, according to the determined ratio. Typically, the display would be varied by varying the relative positions of representations of the user (951) and at least one opponent (952).
