To combat this, a 100-day training program was designed to maintain improve fitness during lockdown. This program, which included challenge with assessments online sessions, aimed enhance motivation. Methods: Twenty participants (mean age 45.2 ± 12.7 years) good baseline completed strength, endurance, coordination, flexibility exercises over 100 days, monthly challenges. Fitness assessed at (T0), mid-program (T1), completion (T2). Results: Males initially showed higher BMI mild cardiovascular Flexibility improved for both genders, females increasing from 12.5 4.51 cm 14.8 6.65 males 4.4 6.33 8.8 10.69 cm. Males’ vertical jump height 20.7 13.05 28.2 10.49 In the challenge, push-up repetitions rose achieving excellent scores (>24 reps females, >25 males). advanced in repeated crunch test, while consistently excelled squat. Weight reductions were also observed, particularly overweight males. Conclusions: combined effectively sustained motivation among pandemic-related restrictions. Notable strength endurance improvements observed across reinforcing potential of interactive, remote programs promote periods limited activity.

Psychological was evaluated pre- vs. post-intervention by the WHO-Five Well-Being Index (WHO-5), General (PGWBI), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10). Fitness assessment tools included 2-minute step test, curl-up forward bending squat test. Body weight also assessed post-intervention. Results: The analysis showed a significant increment all scores (p-value ranged from <0.001 to 0.015) no change body weight. tests indicated an overall participants' measured WHO-5 unexpectedly, stress level through PSS-10. Conclusions: Enabled technology, provides flexible convenient complementary approach conventional workouts, helping maintain active lifestyle improve their well-being. Positive effects on sedentary population's lifestyles are discussed.
