The apparatus includes: a terrestrial magnetism sensor for outputting digital values of each axis according to movements of a body; a reference digital value generator for generating a reference digital value based on N digital values of each axis, (N-1) digital values of each axis, (N-2) digital values of each axis; a reference axis selector for searching N digital value of one axis having a maximum amplitude and selecting the one axis as a reference axis; a digital value determiner for determining whether the N digital value is larger than a reference digital value; and a controller for determining the movement as an ascending movement of one footstep when the N digital value is larger than the reference digital value.",
