METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AND/OR REGULATING A TRAINING AND/OR REHABILITATION UNIT
First Claim
1. A method for controlling and/or regulating a training and/or rehabilitation unit, whereina) a sensor unit is arranged in the flow of inspired and expired air of a person or an animal which uses the training and/or rehabilitation unit,b) the respiratory gas composition and/or the breath volume measured by the sensor unit is/are used to determine physiological parameters of ventilation and/or gas exchange of the person or animal,c) one or more maximum performance characteristics is/are determined on the basis of the parameters which have been determinedduring sub-maximal exercise, with the aid of a regression function, and/orduring exhaustive exercise until the performance maximum is reached, andd) a resistance or brake arrangement of the training and/or rehabilitation unit is controlled and/or regulated as a function of at least one of the maximum performance characteristic(s) which have been determined.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for controlling and/or regulating a training and/or rehabilitation unit, wherein a) a sensor unit is used in the flow of inspiration and expiration air of a person or an animal using the training and/or rehabilitation unit, b) physiological parameters of ventilation and/or gas exchange of the person or the animal are determined using the respiratory gas composition and/or breath volume measured using the sensor unit, c) one or more maximum performance variables are determined on the basis of the determined parameters under submaximal loading, using a regression function and/or by limit loading to the maximum performance capability, and d) a resistance or brake arrangement of the training and/or rehabilitation unit is controlled and/or regulated as a function of at least one of the determined maximum performance variables.
