Researchers are evaluating two BioCircuit training programs, Tone Your Body and Boost Performance, in adults aged 30 to 65 years. The study aims to understand which program better improves physical fitness, muscle mass, and body fat reduction. This randomized trial balances age, gender, and baseline strength to fairly compare the effects of these exercise interventions. Participants will join one of two 12-week training programs using Technogyms BioCircuit equipment, which provides personalized automated exercise based on fitness levels. Both programs include six total body strength exercises and two cardio exercises performed in a circuit format, with specific timing for exercise and rest. The Tone Your Body program focuses on moderate intensity to reduce body fat and tone muscles, emphasizing eccentric muscle loading, while the Boost Performance program targets increased strength and endurance with higher resistance and performance tests. During the study, participants will be assessed before and after the 12 weeks on muscle mass, body fat percentage, maximal strength, handgrip strength, and body measurements. Performance tests such as jump and reach, one-minute squats, and push-ups will also be conducted. Participants will maintain their usual diet and report satisfaction through questionnaires. The study monitors changes in fitness and body composition to determine which program is more effective, with all activities supervised and recorded throughout the trial.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of Technogyms BioStrength equipment compared to traditional strength training machines in adults aged 30 to 65 years. This study focuses on untrained, healthy individuals with less than six months of prior resistance training experience. It aims to determine if the BioStrength machines, which provide real-time feedback on movement, speed, and force, lead to better muscle strength, body composition, and training efficiency over a 12-week period. Participants are randomly assigned using a minimisation technique to either the BioStrength training group or the conventional strength training group, ensuring balance in age, gender, and baseline handgrip strength. Both groups attend three supervised training sessions per week, each lasting about 60 minutes, for 12 weeks. The BioStrength group uses advanced Technogym machines with personalized feedback, while the traditional group uses standard gym equipment without feedback technology. During the study, participants undergo assessments at baseline and after 12 weeks, including maximum strength tests 10-RM for leg press and chest press, handgrip strength measurement using a dynamometer, body composition analysis via bioimpedance, and circumference measurements of arms, legs, and waist. Researchers will analyze changes in these measures to compare the outcomes between groups. The study also collects customer satisfaction data and monitors participant safety throughout the intervention.
