“…The elastic bands (Thera-Band ® , Hygenic Corporation, Akron, OH, USA) used in this study were red, blue, green, and black. The introduction of these bands was based on studies by Santos et al 22 , which demonstrated that there is a difference in resistance of 15 to 25% among the bands. Each individual began the 1-RM test with the lowest elastic load (red color) and increased to the elastic load that prevented the performance of the movement.…”

BackgroundElastic resistance bands (ERB) combined with proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) are often used in resistance muscle training programs, which have potential effects on peripheral muscle strength. However, the effects of the combination of ERB and PNF on respiratory muscle strength warrant further investigation. ObjectivesThe assessment of the effects of PNF combined with ERB on respiratory muscle strength. MethodTwenty healthy, right-handed females were included. Subjects were randomized to either the resistance training program group (TG, n=10) or the control group (CG, n=10). Maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) and inspiratory pressure (MIP) were measured before and after four weeks of an upper extremity resistance training program. The training protocol consisted of upper extremity PNF combined with ERB, with resistance selected from 1 repetition maximum protocol. ResultsPNF combined with ERB showed significant increases in MIP and MEP (p<0.05). In addition, there were significant differences between the TG and CG regarding ∆MIP (p=0.01) and ∆MEP (p=0.04).ConclusionsPNF combined with ERB can have a positive impact on respiratory muscle strength. These results may be useful with respect to cardiopulmonary chronic diseases that are associated with reduced respiratory muscle strength.

“…As band thickness increased, the range of resistance in kilograms increased and the range of resistance in percentage from the mean decreased (Figure 3). The resistance range increases with increasing thickness, which has been previously reported with thinner rehabilitative RBR bands (Thera-bands™, Akron, OH, USA) [14,15]. This is likely because the resistance-producing capability of thinner bands is less than that of thicker bands, which allows for a smaller range of mean band resistances.…”

“…Efforts have been made towards quantifying and characterizing variables related to stress-strain properties of RBR bands and loading properties of RBR materials for both therapeutic [14,15,16] and performance applications [17,18]. Separate works by Wallace et al [9], Shoepe et al [17], and McMaster et al [18] have sought to predict a specific load at varying locations throughout an exercise’s range of motion in strength and conditioning settings.…”

Variable resistance implemented through concurrent use of rubber-based resistance bands and free weights is commonly used in training athletes. The purpose of this study was to examine the consistency of rubber-based resistance (RBR) band loading patterns across four distributors. Bands (n = 141) were obtained from online distributors (Rogue Fitness, EliteFTS, RubberBanditz, and Power Systems) across a spectrum of available widths (0.635, 1.270, 2.860, 4.450, 6.350, and 10.160 cm). At least five bands for each width were stretched in 5 cm increments from resting (100 cm) to twice resting length (200 cm) while tensile resistance was measured using a load cell integrated with a digital controller. Each band was tested twice on non-consecutive days producing an intertrial intraclass correlational coefficient (ICC) between 0.93–0.99 with a grand mean ICC across all repeated measures of 0.99. Statistical differences were observed in mean resistance for bands of equal thickness across distributors. Significant correlations were found between a range of tensile load expressed as a total load and band thickness (r = 0.658) and when expressed as a percentage (r = −0.386). This study is useful for strength and conditioning professionals and clinicians who should be cognizant of loading variability within both bandwidths and between distributors.

“…The intensity of strength exercises was based on changing the resistance of the elastic bands. Participants started with an elastic band with lesser resistance and stiffness and progressively increased until higher resistance and stiffness [ 24 ]. The balance exercises included 15–20 minutes of static (e.g., standing with one foot) and dynamic exercises (e.g., walking on gymnasium court lines), and the progression was based on augmenting the instability of the supporting surface, e.g., standing or walking on a foam mattress.…”

Objective. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of multicomponent and strength training programs on dynamic balance, functional capacity, and gait ability in older women. Methods. Thirty individuals (67 ± 4.3 years; 30.6 ± 3.9 kg/m2) were trained for 12 weeks (3 times per week), following multicomponent (MG: exercises focusing on agility, balance, muscle strength, and aerobic) and strength programs (SG: lower limbs strength exercise). Results. Peak torque of hip flexors (p=0.020) and extensors (p=0.009) and knee flexors (p=0.001) of SG was greater than that of MG at posttraining. In addition, both groups increased peak torque of knee extensors (p=0.002) and plantar extensors with higher effect size for SG (d = −0.41 and −0.48), whereas MG presented higher effect size for plantar flexors muscles (d = −0.55). Only the SG improved the rate of torque development of knee extensors (29%; p=0.002), and this variable was also greater to SG than MG at posttraining (106%). The SG and MG improved dynamic balance although SG presented higher effect size (d = 0.61). Both groups improved the performance on 30 s sit to stand test (p=0.010) with higher effect size for MG (d = −0.54). Only the MG improved the stride length (4%; p=0.011) and gait speed (10%; p=0.024). In addition, the groups improved toe clearance (p=0.035) and heel contact (p=0.010) with higher effect sizes for MG (d = −0.066 and 1.07). Conclusion. Strength training should be considered to increase muscle function and dynamic balance in older women, whereas multicomponent training should be considered to increase functional capacity and gait ability in this population.
