Effect of BioStrength Training on Muscle Strength and Satisfaction in Adults Aged 30-65
Sponsor: University of Graz
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Technogyms BioStrength equipment compared to traditional strength training equipment over a 12-week intervention period. The study will determine whether BioStrength machines produce more effective results in terms of muscle strength and body composition. Participants will be allocated to either the BioStrength group or the traditional training group using a minimisation technique to balance important prognostic factors such as handgrip strength, age and gender between the groups. Key measurements include maximum strength tests (10RM) for leg press and chest press, handgrip strength using a dynamometer, and body composition using bioimpedance analysis. Circumference measurements will also be taken. The study will assess whether BioStrength equipment provides superior results in muscle strength, body composition and training efficiency compared to conventional gym equipment.

Interventions
BioStrength Intervention
Participants in the Intervention Group will undergo BioStrength training using Technogym equipment. The intervention will last for 12 weeks, with sessions conducted 3 times per week
Conventional training
Participants in the Active Comparator group will undergo a conventional strength training program using standard gym machines. Training sessions will occur 3 times per week for 12 weeks. The goal is to compare the outcomes of BioStrength training with traditional strength training.
