1. An exercise assistance apparatus which has an exercise equipment provided with a movable section for a user to perform a moving operation in a loaded state and a detection section for detecting the movement of the movable section, said exercise assistance apparatus comprising:a monitor for displaying images which is installed at the front side of said exercise equipment; storage means for storing at least image data to express a traveling path and a predetermined number of opponent characters to be displayed on said traveling path, and the data regarding movement of an opponent character in association with a road data from a start point to a goal point; exercise equipment control means for performing variable control for the load status of said exercise equipment; opponent movement control means for controlling the traveling positions of said predetermined number of opponent characters on said traveling path with sequential updating, in accordance with the movement data of the opponent character stored in the storage means; self position calculation means for calculating a virtual self position of the user on said traveling path from the detection content of said detection section and the load status controlled by the exercise equipment control means; and image display means for displaying the traveling path ahead of said self position and opponent characters at an updated traveling position on said traveling path ahead of the self position, and displaying the degree of difficulty to pass said opponent character. 2. The exercise assistance apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said opponent movement control means updates the degree of difficulty to pass at a predetermined time period based on the relative difference between the self position and traveling position of the opponent character.3. The exercise assistance apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said opponent movement control means updates the degree of difficulty to pass at a predetermined time period based on the relative difference between the traveling speed detected by said detection section and the traveling speed of the opponent character.4. The exercise assistance apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said exercise equipment further comprising load change means for performing variable control for a status of the load, and said exercise equipment control means adjusts the load amount of the load change means.5. The exercise assistance apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the inclination information is set for said traveling path, and said exercise equipment control means adjusts the load amount of the load change means according to the inclination information.6. The exercise assistance apparatus according to claim 4, wherein said exercise equipment has adjustment means for adjusting the load amount of said load change means from the outside.7. The exercise assistance apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said exercise equipment is a fixed type cycling machine comprising pedals as a movable section and a detection section for detecting the pedal rotation frequency, and said self position calculation means is for determining the traveling position based on the detected pedal rotation frequency of the detection section.8. The exercise assistance apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a sensor for detecting the pulse rate of said user, wherein said exercise equipment control means adjusts the load amount of the load change means based on the pulse rate detected by said sensor.9. The exercise assistance apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising evaluation means for evaluating the moving operation of the user in such a manner that said user advances in rank when the user passes an opponent character.10. The exercise assistance apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said road data is stored in a road table which is stored in said storage means and an inclination level is set in the road table according to a position from the start point to the goal point, said storage means stores an opponent bike table and the moving speed of said opponent character is set in the opponent bike table where said moving speed in relation to said inclination level is set.11. The exercise assistance apparatus according to claim 10, wherein said storage means stores a physical strength table provided for each of the opponent characters for storing the data relating to the physical strength for each of the opponent characters.12. The exercise assistance apparatus according to claim 11, further comprising a physical strength calculation section for calculating the physical strength of the opponent character based on said data relating to the physical strength and a pedaling judgment section for judging if the opponent character is pedaling or not and the physical strength value for the opponent character found to be not pedaling, is increased.13. The exercise assistance apparatus according to claim 11, further comprising a physical strength calculation section for calculating the physical strength of the opponent character based on said data relating to the physical strength and a pedaling judgment section for judging if the opponent character is pedaling or not and the physical strength value for the opponent character, found to be pedaling, is decreased.14. The exercise assistance apparatus according to claim 11, further comprising a pedaling judgment section for judging if the opponent character is pedaling or not and a physical strength calculation section which calculates the physical strength of the opponent character based on the judgment result of the pedaling judgment section.15. The exercise assistance apparatus according to claim 14, wherein the physical strength value for the opponent character who is in a point blank range with respect to the virtual self position of the user is displayed on the monitor as the degree of difficulty to pass.16. The exercise assistance apparatus according to claim 14, further comprising a distance detection section for determining a distance between the position of the opponent character and the self position.17. The exercise assistance apparatus according to claim 16, wherein said distance detection section specifies the opponent characters that are in a predetermined region with respect to the self position of the user based on the distances determined by the distance detection section.18. The exercise assistance apparatus according to claim 17, wherein the physical strength values for the opponent characters that were found to be within the predetermined region are displayed on the monitor and said strength value is an indicia for the degree of the difficulty to pass.
