Powerbands

About Powerband training

Choose the right color

Powerbands are color-coded to indicate different resistance levels. The resistance level is the amount of tension the band provides during a workout. Unfortunately, not everyone uses the same colors for the same resistance, so you should check the resistance in the product information.

Do not choose bands that are heavier than you can perform the exercise strictly and correctly. And keep in mind that you have different strengths depending on which muscle groups you are training.

POWERBAND TRAINING - FREE WEIGHTS - SEVERAL SIMILAR CHARACTERISTICS

Resistance band training is similar to free weight training in many ways, but it actually has several advantages. A training program that uses power bands gives users a more functional workout with less risk of injury compared to free weights. Muscle load and power development are estimated to be at least as good.

Training with elastic resistance bands and free weights has several similarities: they allow for progressive resistance, free range of motion, and variable movement speed. Recent studies have shown that muscle activity and maximum load when training with power bands are similar to free weight training. However, unlike free weights, resistance bands do not rely on gravity to provide resistance/force. Both elastic and isotonic resistance provide similar strength, curve patterns, similar muscle activation levels, and similar strength gains.

The advantages of resistance bands lie in their functional movement patterns, which mimic everyday activities and sport-specific activities, and in the lower risk of injury.

POWERBAND - A fantastic complement to your training

Bodyweight and high-intensity interval training (HIIT), such as Freeletics, Crosstraining, etc., have become very popular. They combine simple exercises, using your own body weight, with a large number of repetitions in several sets, resulting in powerful workouts. People who exercise regularly usually achieve quick results.

Powerbands, when used in addition to bodyweight exercises, will yield greater results in the same amount of time due to the elastic resistance and constant tension in the eccentric and concentric parts of the exercises. This combination results in better range of motion, strength, and more complete muscle stimulation.
