Effects of training with elastic resistance versus conventional resistance on muscular strength: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract: Given the practicality and low cost of using elastic resistance in training for different populations and its effectiveness in a range of outcomes, a comparison with conventional devices could clarify and quantify the benefits provided by both mode. To compare the effects of resistance training with elastic devices (tubes and Thera-Bands) and conventional devices (weight machines and dumbbells) on the outcome muscular strength. A search was performed in the databases PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, PEDro (Physiotherap… Show more

“…Not defining a population with homogeneous characteristics allowed for holistic perception regarding the analyzed methods and similar conclusions to other studies [16,19,23]. Regarding this aspect, a recently published review and metaanalysis [27], when comparing different population profiles, found similar results between conventional and elastic devices for muscle strength gain.…”

“…The total score ranges from zero to 10 points, in which higher scores represent better methodological quality. A PEDro score equal to or greater than 7 was considered "high quality", studies whose scores were 5 or 6 were considered "moderate quality" and those whose score was 4 or less were considered "poor quality" [25,26].…”
