Abstract
The invention relates to nerve stimulation apparatus having a control unit, first and second electrodes which impart an electrical current on the user'"'"'s body there between and first and second sensors adapted to detect an electrical signal differential detected there between. This allows electrical stimulation of the users muscles to be provided whilst allowing the cardiac cycle of the user to be simultaneously monitored by the apparatus. There is also provided a method of providing nerve stimulation and exercise monitoring.
