1. A device for controlling and/or regulating a training and/or rehabilitation unit, wherein the device comprises:

  • a training and/or rehabilitation unit;

    a sensor unit with a heatable electrochemical solid-state electrolyte sensor, which in order to determine the oxygen concentration, contains yttrium-contaminated zirconium oxide as an electrolyte, two electrodes, a support element, and a heating element, and in order to determine the carbon dioxide concentration, contains a further heatable electrochemical solid-state electrolyte sensor, which comprises a sodium ion conductor as an electrolyte, two electrodes, and a support element and a heating element;

    a control unit for the sensors;

    a microcontroller in the control unit configured to control a heating power of the heating elements of the sensors and maintain constant sensor temperatures, wherein the heating power is controlled dependent on a flow volume of breathing of a person; and

    a controllable and/or adjustable resistance and/or brake arrangement of the training and/or rehabilitation unit that depends on a breathing gas composition determined by the sensor unit.
