Abstract

A display method includes displaying objects related to exercise equipment at respective positions of the exercise equipment at a plurality of timings during a swing so as to overlap a swing trajectory of the exercise equipment which is obtained on the basis of an output from an inertial sensor which measures the swing of the exercise equipment.
