Rowing machine

A rowing machine comprising:

• display means;
• a frame provided in front of said display means;
• a seat slidably mounted on said frame;
• a pair of oars rotatably supported in portions of said frame on both sides of said seat to be pulled by an exerciser seated on said seat;
• angular velocity detecting means provided in correspondence to respective ones of said pair of oars for detecting angular velocity values of respective said oars upon pulling of the same;
• picture signal generating means for generating a moving image signal for displaying a moving image on said display means and a picture signal for displaying an image for influencing movement of said moving image;
• load means for applying resistance against rotation of respective ones of said pair of oars;
• physiological condition detecting means for detecting physiological condition of said exerciser;
• and
• control means for displaying said moving image and said influencing image on the basis of picture signals generated from said picture signal generating means to control display so that relative display positions of said moving image and said influencing image displayed on said display means are changed in response to relative angular velocity values detected by said respective oar angular velocity detecting means while altering said resistance force provided by said load means against said rotation of respective ones of said pair of oars in response to the physiological condition of said exerciser with respect to said load means by said physiological condition detecting means.
