Obesity has become a growing global health problem, with a significant impact on a wide range of chronic diseases. This study aims to explore the effect of circuit training on weight loss and Body Mass Index (BMI) in overweight or obese adult individuals. Using a pretest-posttest experimental research design, 30 participants were divided into two groups: an experimental group that followed an eight-week circuit training program and a control group that received no intervention. The results showed that the experimental group experienced a significant weight loss from 73.6 kg to 69.5 kg (p = 0.003) and a decrease in BMI from 29.9 kg/m² to 28.2 kg (p = 0.003). Meanwhile, the control group also experienced weight and BMI reductions, but with smaller changes (body weight from 70.1 kg to 69.1 kg and BMI from 29.0 kg/m² to 28.6 kg), although it remained significant (p < 0.05). These findings confirm the effectiveness of circuit training as an intervention in weight loss programs, as well as the importance of a structured approach in obesity management. This study provides empirical evidence that can be used by health professionals and fitness trainers in designing more effective exercise programs to achieve weight loss goals, as well as improve the overall quality of life of individuals.

Conclusion

The study demonstrated the significant effectiveness of the intervention applied to the experimental group in reducing weight and Body Mass Index (BMI).Both groups experienced weight loss and BMI reduction, but the experimental group showed greater and statistically significant changes.These results emphasize the importance of structured interventions in weight management and obesity prevention, which are risk factors for various chronic diseases.

Future Research

Penelitian lebih lanjut perlu dilakukan untuk menginvestigasi efektivitas program latihan sirkuit yang dimodifikasi dengan mempertimbangkan faktor-faktor individual seperti tingkat kebugaran awal dan preferensi latihan. Hal ini dapat dilakukan dengan membandingkan berbagai protokol latihan sirkuit, termasuk variasi intensitas, durasi, dan jenis latihan, untuk mengidentifikasi pendekatan yang paling optimal untuk kelompok populasi yang berbeda. Selain itu, penelitian di masa depan dapat mengeksplorasi peran intervensi perilaku dan dukungan sosial dalam meningkatkan kepatuhan terhadap program latihan dan mempertahankan penurunan berat badan jangka panjang. Studi longitudinal yang melacak peserta selama periode waktu yang lebih lama diperlukan untuk menilai dampak berkelanjutan dari latihan sirkuit terhadap kesehatan metabolik dan kualitas hidup. Terakhir, penelitian lebih lanjut harus menyelidiki mekanisme biologis yang mendasari efek latihan sirkuit terhadap penurunan berat badan dan BMI, seperti perubahan dalam komposisi tubuh, sensitivitas insulin, dan ekspresi gen.
