Skeletal Muscle Adaptations in Elastic Resistance-Trained Young Men and Women

A Cohort Study to Evaluate the Feasibility of Low Load/High Repetition Elastic Band Resistance Training for People with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

“…The feasibility of elastic resistance equipment in resistance training for people COPD is of importance since it, in comparison to weight machines, offers a portable and inexpensive alternative that is easy to use and more accessible [29,30].…”

Kinematic and Kinetic Analysis of Maximal Velocity Deadlifts Performed With and Without the Inclusion of Chain Resistance

“…In addition, it appears that the inclusion of chains may provide additional advantages over a constant barbell resistance for certain biomechanical and physiological variables. The majority of longitudinal studies that have investigated the effects of combining variable resistance material with freeweights have used rubber bands (2,13,19,21,35). The results have clearly demonstrated that the addition of rubber bands can significantly improve measures of strength and power and those improvements are generally significantly larger than those achieved when using a constant resistance (2,13,35).…”

The effect of 8-week thera-band exercises on male swimmers’ 100 m freestyle swimming performance

“…Elastic resistance equipments such as bands and tubes are commonly used in sports and rehabilitation medicine for increasing muscular strength and endurance (Hostler et al, 2001, Mikesky et al, 1994. Past studies have shown that elastic band trainings are suitable method to increase strength (Hughes et al, 1999) Rubber bands and tubes are preferred by dint of its ability to set force and traction ratio (Baltacı et al, 2016).…”
