THERABAND Professional Resistance Bands are designed to help users rehabilitate injuries, improve functional living, and enhance athletic performance. These exercise bands provide both positive and negative force on muscles and joints to help stretch, tone, and condition all major muscle groups.
Progressive Resistance System
The THERABAND color-coded resistance system allows users to easily track their progress from one level to the next. These bands come in resistance levels that range from Super Light (2.4 lbs) to Elite (14.2 lbs). The progressive resistance system allows for workouts that increase in difficulty over time to tone muscles and recover from injuries.
Limitless Number of Uses
These THERABAND resistance bands are available in 25 yard (22.6m) and 50 yard (45.7m) length rolls. Each band measures 4” (10cm) wide. THERABAND Professional Resistance Bands are easy to store and transport in a gym bag or backpack for on-the-go personal and professional use. Providing a limitless number of uses, these bands are an essential part of any workout or athletic activity.
The Original Trusted Progression™ System
Elastic resistance force and torque
Elastic resistance is a unique type of resistance training compared to other traditional forms, such as isotonic or isokinetic resistances. The resistance provided by elastic bands or tubing is based on the amount that the band or tubing is stretched. This resistance can be measured in pounds/kilograms of force depending on the percentage the band or tubing is stretched from its resting length; this is known as force-elongation.
Regardless of how long the band or tubing is before it’s stretched, the force produced at its stretched length depends on the percent elongation. For example, an initial 2-foot (60 cm) length of green band that is stretched to 4 feet (120 cm, double its resting length) is at 100% elongation. Therefore, the resistance of the band is 4.6 pounds at that elongation. Each progressive step represents a consistent pull-force increase of 25% in the clinical range (Tan through Black) and 40% in the advanced range (Silver and Gold).
