Resistance Bands & Tubing
Resistance Exercise Training
Having a resistance exercise routine with rubber bands or rubber tubing might sound like a new fitness craze. However resistance and isometric training has been around for 1000"s of years. Examples of early forms of resistance exercises yoga and oriental martial arts. These exercises typically involve contractions of the muscle using the body"s own structure and pushing against the ground. The ground is an unmovable object and thus, offers resistance. Your muscles "work" by trying to overcome this resistance and become stronger over time. The goal of resistance training, according to the American Sports Medicine Institute (ASMI), is to "gradually and progressively overload the musculature system so it gets stronger."
Resistance Bands
Resistance bands are generally made from heavy gauge rubber or other durable but semi-flexible material. This type of elastic resistance does not cause the momentum associated with free weights. If you have worked out with free weight before you have probably felt pain in your joints. It is the momentum of the weight which over extends past the normal motion of a joint that causes pain and injury. To avoid damaging ligaments, tendons and joints, many professional athletes will use resistance bands as part of their workout routine. Unlike free weights, rubber resistance bands do not create the momentum that causes joint injuries. Have you ever been injured when working out hard? All your progress is stopped because now you have to rehab from an injury. This down time could last weeks or even months. This is another reason why working out with resistance bands is beneficial NO down time due to injury.
