Abstract: [Object] To provide a rotation rate detecting apparatus which can be realized with a small number of parts with saved power, a rotation rate detecting method and a program.[Solution] A rotation rate detecting apparatus includes a rotation rate calculating unit configured to calculate a rotation rate of a pedal in a riding apparatus having the pedal rotating by pedaling operation of a user, based on sensor information of an acceleration sensor. The rotation rate calculating unit calculates a rotation rate based on information corresponding to acceleration in a traveling direction of the riding apparatus or a roll direction with respect to the traveling direction in association with movement of the user or the riding apparatus.
