Biocircuit machines use a motor and magnets to create the difference resistance types. The reason why it has been shown to improve strength by 30% over traditional machines lies in the power of the various resistance types.

Resistance Types

What are the different types of resistance used by Biocircuit?
Resistance-Isotonic.png

Isotonic refers to weight or resistance that is the same when a muscle is contracting (concentric contraction) and lengthening (eccentric contraction).

This resistance type is most like using traditional free weights such as free weights, cables, bars and pin loaded machines.

Technogym Programmes

  • Lose Weight
     

Club Programmes

  • Traditional Strength

Resistance-no-inertia.png

No inertia reduces tension on your joints at the beginning and end range of motion. This is great for those with osteoporosis or any joint injuries.

Technogym Programmes

  • Stay Young
     

Club Programmes

  • Happy Joints: Slow, Comfortable & Fast Pace

Resistance-Elastic.png

Elastic resistance creates tension at the end range, like that of working with bands in training. This type of resistence is good for rehab, increasing mobility of muscles as well as for reducing stress/anxiety.
 
Club Programmes

  • Activate Your Muscles: Levels 1-4

  • Dynamic Muscles: Level 1-2

  • Explosive Muscles: Medium, Heavy, X-Heavy, XX-Heavy
     

Resistance-Viscous.png

Viscous - the faster you push, the more resistance you get back. At lower levels the speed is faster like water (great for explosive training and athletes). Higher resistance is like mud (great for older people wanting to keep a spring in their step).

Technogym Programmes

  • Stay Young
     

Club Programmes

  • Speed & Power: Levels 1-4

  • Spring & Vigour: Levels 1-2

Resistance-Eccentric-Reduction.png

Eccentric reduction reduces the load during the eccentric phase, which allows a person new to exercise or someone that has taken a break from strength training, to recover quicker and with reduced muscle soreness.

Technogym Programmes

  • Start Moving
     

Club Programmes

  • Back to Movement: Levels 1-4

Resistance-Eccentric-Overload.png

Eccentric Overload helps to build muscle and increase muscular tone faster than traditional strength training. This is great for someone that has been training for over 3 months or is okay with some post-exercise muscle soreness when beginning a new program.
