Brief summary
This prospective, multi-site, single-arm interventional study evaluates the 5-Line Principle of Balanced Progressive Intensity Training (BPIT) over 5 weeks in healthy adults aged 18-65 years. All participants receive supervised BPIT sessions (3-5 per week) progressing through five intensity lines defined by anatomical landmarks and ground reaction force: Ground-Based (Low) Knee-Level (Low-Moderate) Standing (Moderate) Head-Level (Moderate-High) Plyometric (High-Impact) The study aims to quantify improvements in functional movement efficiency, joint mobility, postural control, strength adaptation, and heart-rate variability while monitoring safety and individual overload indicators.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Movement Efficiency Score (MES, 0-10) | Baseline (Week 0) and end of study (Week 5) | Change from baseline in the proprietary Movement Efficiency Score (MES), a validated composite metric of biomechanical function, movement quality, and postural alignment (derived from MMSx Flaw Checklist, visual/video analysis, and functional mapping). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Range of Motion (ROM) | Baseline and Week 5 | Change from baseline in joint range of motion (degrees) measured by goniometry at key sites (shoulder, hip, spine, ankle). |
| VAS Pain Score | Baseline and Week 5 | Change from baseline in participant-reported pain/discomfort on a 0-10 Visual Analog Scale. |
| Strength Index | Baseline and Week 5 | Change from baseline in Strength Index calculated as Reps × Load (or estimated 1RM where applicable) for key movements. |
| Mobility Limitation (%) | Baseline and Week 5 | Change from baseline in self-reported percentage limitation in daily functional tasks due to mobility restrictions. |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Heart Rate Variability (HRV - RMSSD) | Baseline and Week 5 | Change from baseline in resting heart rate variability (RMSSD) as a biomarker of autonomic recovery. |
