Arm Description

This arm will evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of the high power magnet system for toning and strengthening of biceps brachii.

This arm will evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of the high power magnet system for toning and strengthening of triceps brachii.

This arm will evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of the high power magnet system for toning and strengthening of muscles in lower limbs.

This arm will evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of the high power magnet system for toning and strengthening of oblique muscles.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Changes in adipose and muscle tissue measured via ultrasound imaging
To determine the effectiveness of the device for strengthening and toning of arms, lower limbs and oblique muscles through changes in surrounding tissues, measured via ultrasound imaging. Using the obtained images, change in adipose and muscular tissues before and after the therapy sessions will be compared for every participant according to the study phase.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Patient's satisfaction measured via questionnaires
To determine the patient's satisfaction with study treatment for non-invasive strengthening and toning of arms, lower limbs and oblique muscles.The 5-point Likert scale Satisfaction questionnaire will be used to evaluate the participant's satisfaction with the therapy outcome where the level of agreement between "strongly agree" and "strongly disagree" should indicate the participant's satisfaction with the therapy.
Incidence Of Treatment-Related Adverse Events
To determine side effects and adverse events (AE) associated with the BTL 799-2 treatment of the arms, lower limbs and oblique muscles. Safety outcomes will include an evaluation of the treatment area to assess and evaluate the following: Muscle pain Temporary muscle spasm Temporary joint or tendon pain Local erythema or skin redness
