Abstract: A training apparatus is disclosed which allows a trainee to attain a sense of accomplishment by continuing an exercise until a target is reached, without undue strain. A torque motor applies a load to a handle bar, which is driven by the exercise of a trainee. If the movement of the trainee who moves the handle bar is about to stop, then the load is gradually reduced. If the handle bar once again begins to move due to a load reduction, then it is inferred that the trainee has resumed the exercise, and the load at that time is maintained until, for example, the direction of motion of the handle bar changes. By gradually reducing the load at the fatigue limit of the trainee, it is possible to promote the resumption and the continuance of the exercise.

Abstract: The movement information processing system of the present invention includes a screen 5 which displays via a projector 6 guide images GG which induces stepping movements of the feet of players on mats 30 and mats for players where each of the mats 30 detects the stepping position and the stepping movement of each player with respect to the guide images GG. The detected results are evaluated by an evaluation means 116, 120 via a communication section 16 and the evaluation results are displayed on the screen with an image presentation processing control section 112. The system provides exercise guide images that induce players a variety of movements in a highly recognizable manner regardless of the number of players.

Abstract: Training apparatus includes: a base stand which has slide shafts that are provided side by side and extend in the right-and-left directions; a slide base portion which can slide along this slide shaft; a foot stand which is provided over the slide base portion so as to be turned; a connection mechanism portion which is formed by a rod and its support portion that engages a substantially-middle proper part of the base stand in the right-and-left directions and the foot stand, so that the sliding position and the turning angle of the foot stand can be correlated; and a spring which gives the slide base portion the force by which the slide base portion moves toward a substantially-middle position of the base stand in the right-and-left directions. Thereby, a sliding exercise and a twisting exercise can be taken together, and the body trunk can be effectively trained.

Abstract: Disclosed is a movement-information processing system, which comprises a control unit 30 including an image display control section 312 adapted to allow a guide image for instructing a plurality of players to perform a physical training consisting of plural types of body movements to be displayed on a projection screen 20, and a plurality of terminal units each formed in a belt-like configuration and provided with a movement detection device 53 operable, when the terminal unit is worn on a body of either one of the players, to detect body movements of the player. Each of the terminal unit includes a communication processing section 533 for transmitting a detection signal representing the body movements detected by the movement detection device 53 to the control unit 30.

Abstract: A running machine 1 is provided with an exercise monitoring unit 40 for turning a running belt 14 on which a user runs by means of a motor 15 and monitoring a running state of the user based on a driven state of the running belt 14. The running machine a includes a monitor 31 for displaying images at its front side.

Abstract: A drum rhythm game apparatus and a guitar rhythm game apparatus each includes a staging operating unit. Playing progression information, which includes sector numbers, is transferred between the drum rhythm game apparatus and the guitar rhythm game apparatus, thereby enabling staging operation to be implemented from each of the staging operating units while synchronizing the visual staging instructions provided to players of the game for the background music piece to be played at both the drum rhythm game apparatus and the guitar rhythm game apparatus. This allows the game to be played in a state closer to reality in which multiple players each have staging operating units as different instrument, such as with an actual band, making the game more enjoyable.

Abstract: A song accompaniment system includes a karaoke machine and a simulated guitar machine, and the karaoke machine downloads accompanying music in the form of MIDI data from a source data storage. Of the MIDI data downloaded from the source data storage, a simulative instrument part of the accompanying music is transferred to the simulated guitar machine. In the simulated guitar machine, an allocation processor allocates individual sounds of the simulative instrument part to three scroll bars in a guidance picture which is presented on a monitor of the simulated guitar machine, and operating timing for producing the individual sounds is indicated by note marks which are scrolled along the scroll bars. When a player plays a simulated guitar, tone waveforms contained in the MIDI data received from the source data storage are modulated and an audio signal thus generated is output from speakers. If the simulated guitar is correctly operated, the accompanying music is reproduced in proper fashion.

Abstract: Sound generation control and instruction operation evaluation is performed by sound group selection and a sound generation instruction, with a mimic guitar having selection buttons for selecting one of a plurality of sound groups bearing a series of sounds, and a picking blade for instructing the generation of a sound. The rhythm-matching game can be enjoyed relatively easily in a manner closer to a realistic state of playing an instrument.
