Editor's Notes
- #4 Made of latex or non latex material .Kind of like a rubber band .what happen when you stretch a rubber band ? Tension increases making it more difficult to stretch more further As u stretch a rubber band u can feel your hands and forearms working harder and harder That same principle applies to resistance bands which we use for exercise Latex or nonlatex
- #5 Therapy bands- these are with no handles cut off at ends Exercise bands-with handles commonly used Loop bands-huge band with like continuous flat loop there are smaller version of these Figure 8 bands-shorter and shape like 8 with soft handles
- #6 Similar how other resistance eqiupments are to be used like free weights Whatever exs you can do with free weights same exs can be done with resistance bands. Resistance bands are great tools for flexibility : 1. The elasticity of resistance bands allows motion to increase gradually 2. Resistance bands creates an active component to stretching 3. Bands create a leverage point for passive overpressure 4. Bands have multiple resistance levels to allow for advanced stretching Gravity indepenent while sitting desk job Can combined with yoga pilates crosstraining free weights Typically these bands comes in sets with each band having a different cololr which represents different amount of tension
- #8 Elastic resistance provides a form of variable resistance because the force generated changes as the material is elongated. Specifically, as it is stretched, the amount of resistance (force) produced by an elastic band or tubing increases depending on the relative change in the length of the material (percentage of elongation/deformation) from the start to the end of elongation. There is a relatively predictable and linear relationship between the percentage of elongation and the tensile force of the material.136,147,152,223,245 To determine the percentage of elongation, the stretched length must be compared to the resting length of the elastic material. The resting length of a band or tubing is its length when it is laid out flat and there is no stretch applied. The actual length of the material before it is stretched has no effect on the force imparted. Rather, it is the percentage of elongation that affects the tensile forces.223 The formula for calculating the percentage of elongation/deformation is146,245: Percent of elongation (stretched length resting length) ÷ resting length 100 Using this formula, if a 2-foot length of red tubing, for example, is stretched to 4 feet, the percentage of elongation is 100%
- #9 Elastic resistance products are portable and relatively inexpensive, making them an ideal choice for home exercise programs. Because elastic resistance is not significantly gravity dependent, elastic bands and tubing are extremely versatile, allowing exercises to be performed in many combinations of movement patterns in the extremities and trunk and in many positions Bands allow your body to easily move into multiple stretching angles quickly 6. Bands are portable and allow for daily stretching anywhere 7. Bands improve dynamic movement skills, part of the overall flexibility program 8. Bands provide a great resistance training tool to help develop overall strength, explosiveness and locomotion skills
- #10 One of the most significant drawbacks to the use of elastic resistance is the need to refer to a table of figures for quantitative information about the level of resistance for each color-coded grade of material. This makes it difficult to know which grade to select initially and to what extent changing the grade of the band or tubing changes the level of resistance. Although the effects of material fatigue are small with typical clinical use (up to 300% deformation in most exercises), elastic bands and tubing should be replaced on a routine basis to ensure patient safety.146,245 If many individuals use the same precut lengths of bands or tubing, it may be difficult to determine how much use has occurred. Some elastic products contain latex, thus eliminating use by individuals with an allergy to latex. However, there are latex-free products on the market at a relatively comparable cost.
