Abstract
The invention relates to a training device, which can comprise a drive that can be configured for the locomotion of the training device and a control circuit that can comprise an interface configured for receiving a physiological parameter of a user of the training device. The control circuit can be configured to specify a speed of the drive based on the received physiological parameter.
Claims15
