An electric training apparatus is configured to apply, by a load motor, a load on a rotating body configured to apply a load on an exercising person, detect an exercise physiological response value of the exercising person and a number of revolutions of the rotating body, perform control for gradually increasing the load of the load motor toward a set load upper limit value so that a detection result of the exercise physiological response value of the exercising person approaches a target exercise physiological response value set in advance, and change, before an exercise or during the exercise by the exercising person, the load upper limit value in response to a control command input based on a state of the exercising person, a state of the control, and a perceived exertion scale for the exercising person.
