摘要： A method and apparatus for exercise equipment (13) and exercise is provided. One or more exercise monitors (11) are attached to a piece of exercise equipment, and/or an exerciser. During exercise each exercise monitor measures a performance level of the exerciser, and outputs a performance level signal to a video game player. The video game player monitors the performance level of a video game character based on the performance level of the exerciser. Many exerciser performance levels may be monitored, such as pulse rate, exercise rate, distance traveled, time exercised, etc., and can be used to control such video game character performance levels as speed, striking force, energy level, lifetime, game level, etc. The video game player preferably comprises a handheld video game player (25).
