The medical circuit occupies a very special position among training circuits. As a rule, you don't necessarily go to the medical circuit voluntarily, but on the advice of a physiotherapist or because of pain.
So, accordingly, we are talking about a different form of efficiency when we ask ourselves what effects a medical circuit has on you and your body.
Medical training circuit, how effective is it?
If we talk about efficiency when it comes to the medical circuit, we want to clearly specify that it is not so much about visible muscles, weight loss or more strength and endurance for sports. All this is part of the side effects of the Medical Circle - because through the stabilizing muscles in your back and core you gain more endurance and power, which of course also helps you in sports.
But primarily it is about protecting your body, stabilizing the spine and rehabilitation after injuries. Especially after a long lasting injury, the medical circuit is extremely effective, because muscle building is fastest at the beginning. Just as muscles break down rapidly after injury, surgery or inactivity, you also build them back up quickly.
So in the beginning you will feel rapid progress, both in the form of muscle soreness, but also through more stability in the back and often even an improvement in your posture.
Through regular training you will consolidate your progress in the medical circuit and will notice the classic flattening of the progress curve. You should always keep in mind that the exercises in the medical circuit do not require you to lift more and more weight. They are not designed for that.
Instead, it's all about correct execution and flawless performance of all exercises. This ensures that you are neither working with momentum nor compensating for exercises using other muscles.
Conclusion - This is why medical circuits work
A medical circuit is a form of training that is specifically designed to make you more resistant to injury and to help you live a pain-free life. In these respects, the medical circuit is effective and functional.
If, on the other hand, you have a well-balanced muscular system and a basic athletic constitution, the exercises in the medical circuit may be less efficient for you. Nevertheless, they can help you to awaken your dormant potential by compensating for certain deficits in movement, balance and stability from within.
