<p>Physical exercise apparatus comprises an exercise machine, such as an exercise bicycle, and a data processing device which runs a computer game program. A user controls the computer game with a game controller, such as a joystick, while exercising on the exercise machine. The data processing device varies a parameter of the computer game in dependence on the rate of exercise of the user. The relationship between the user's rate of exercise and the effect on the computer game is non-linear, such that the user receives a greater reward for increased effort at higher rates of exercise.</p> |
