Circuit Training
high training efficiency
automatic training weight determination – ensures an effective stimulus by calculating weight based on isometric maximum force measurement and other key parameters.
periodized training programs – enhance training efficiency with programs individually designed using sports science principles.
circuit training – develops both strength and endurance, saving time.
different training methods – enable diverse and effective training.
control of the training parameters – provides real-time feedback on crucial parameters.
resistance dependent on the joint angle – ensures optimal muscle workload.
high user-friendliness and safety
automatic user recognition – increases safety and comfort by immediately adjusting to personalized user settings.
automatic tracking and analysis of training data – improves training and support quality.
intense interaction through live feedback – promotes self-regulation by interacting with the display in real-time.
automatic adaptation to training success – training weight and method automatically adjust to user progress.
high member motivation and loyalty
social support – helps maintain adherence to the training program.
structured training program – encourages more frequent training.
monitoring of training success – boosts motivation through visible progress.
justification of high training efficiency
1a) circuit training
circuit training improves strength and endurance, saving time. with simultaneous strength and endurance training, time is saved and fat reduction is promoted through elevated heart rates and minimal rest between exercises.

high member motivation and loyalty
3a) social support
social support within the community is essential for long-term motivation.

3b) training frequency
a structured training program encourages users to train more frequently, leading to more effective results.

periodization
periodized training programs double training efficiency by alternating methods every six sessions, providing users with effective, undulating stimulation.
general periodization structure:
preparation phase – prepares the user for the main training phase.
target phase – uses the most effective training goal method.
variation phase – varies parameters to enhance the primary goal and add new functions.
re-target phase – returns to the primary training method.

muscle gain
prep: “robustness” (negative training)
moderate load with enhanced eccentric training.
adds strength and muscle micro-damage to prepare muscles for high-intensity phases.
target: “muscle gain” (adaptive training)
high loads to muscle failure.
creates metabolic stress and mechanical tension to stimulate growth.
variation: “maximum strength” (isokinetic training)
low reps with eccentric overload.
maximizes mechanical tension and muscle damage for growth.
re-target: “muscle gain” (adaptive training)
high loads to muscle failure.
maintains metabolic stress and tension to continue growth stimulation.
