Scientific tests

Test with fitness assessment device

+100% energy expenditure

Over the same training time, a workout with Switching produces an increase of between 34 and 100% in energy expenditure compared with traditional training methods.

Energy consumption assessment test performed by analysing the oxygen consumed while exercising in a standing position, for men and women, showing an increase of from 6 to 10/12 METS and beyond.

Test with a thermography

+125% muscle activity

Standing workout involves 90% of muscles, with an increase of 125% compared to workouts in a sitting position.

Thermal imaging* of exercising on a traditional chest press (1) and on Switching (2): each temperature is associated with a colour ranging from blue to red, indicating the gradual increase in muscle areas involved.

Posture assessment
