1. A control apparatus for exercise equipment, comprising:
a sensor system to generate data representative of a user of the exercise equipment when the exercise equipment is operating at a first equipment velocity, wherein the sensor system includes a first sensor set to generate data representative of a body position of a user of the exercise equipment and a second sensor set, different from the first sensor set, to generate data representative of a leg position of the user, when the exercise equipment is operating at a first equipment velocity;
velocity generation circuitry to generate a second equipment velocity for the exercise equipment based at least in part on the body position and the leg position of the user by generating an increased equipment velocity, relative to the first equipment velocity, when the body position and the leg position of the user indicate a positive change in user velocity and by generating a decreased equipment velocity, relative to the first equipment velocity, when the body position and the leg position of the user indicate a negative change in user velocity; and
velocity adjustment circuitry to cause the exercise equipment to operate at the second equipment velocity.
