The present invention relates to a training assistance apparatus and a training assistance method. The training assistance apparatus comprises a collecting unit, a main control unit and a discharging unit; the collecting unit is configured to collect an electromyographic signal of a user's specific position during implementation of actions and output it to the main control unit after amplification and filtering; the main control unit is configured to determine an optimal electromyographic signal according to the received electromyogaphic signal, use the optimal electromyoelectrical signal to form a stimulation signal, output the stimulation signal to the discharging unit; the discharging unit forms a stimulation current according to the stimulation signal and applies the stimulation current upon the user's specific position. The present invention employs a closed-loop electromyographic stimulation manner of performing equivalence between the "collection-stimulation" type electromyographic signal and stimulation signal, and enables the action of a trainee to develop in an optimal direction. The progressive manner of the present invention more facilitates improving the training effect as compared with a fixed programmed manner in the prior art. In addition, the present invention does not limit constraints of place and time.
