Comparison of Two BioCircuit Programs: Impact on Physical Fitness and Body Composition in Adults Aged 30-65
Sponsor: University of Graz
Summary
This study aims to compare the effects of two BioCircuit training programmes, 'Tone Your Body' and 'Boost Performance', on physical fitness and body composition in adults aged 30-65 years. Participants will be randomized to one of the two exercise programmes and will undergo a 12-week intervention with baseline and post-intervention measurements of fitness and body composition. The study aims to determine which programme is more effective in improving overall physical fitness, muscle mass and reducing body fat.

Interventions
Tone Your Body BioCircuit Program
Participants in the Tone Your Body group follow a 12-week BioCircuit training programme designed to improve body composition and muscle toning. The programme consists of six total-body strength exercises and two cardio exercises in a circuit format. Each exercise is performed for 45 seconds, followed by a 40-second rest between machines. The endurance exercises are performed for 3 minutes and 35 seconds each. The eccentric phase of each strength exercise is overloaded by 20% to maximise muscle development.
Boost Performance BioCircuit Program
Participants in the Boost Performance group follow a 12-week BioCircuit training programme designed to increase strength and endurance. The programme consists of six strength exercises and two cardio exercises, also in a circuit format. Each exercise is performed for 45 seconds, with 40 seconds rest between machines, and the endurance exercises are performed for 3 minutes and 35 seconds. The strength exercises use a viscous resistance mechanism to increase strength and endurance. Participants also undergo performance tests including the jump and reach test, one minute squats and one minute push-ups.
