WHY USE AN ELASTIC BAND IN TRAINING?
Also known as mini bands or bans, rubber bands, which are usually made of latex, offer resistance, according to the physical education teacher. Rubens Ramos, of the Reebok Sports Club, in Sao Paulo.
“When doing bicep curls with dumbbells, for example, it is common to put strength to lift the weights and, during the descent, to release the arm and zero effort”, begins the professional. “Rubber creates resistance in both the concentric (muscle contraction) and eccentric (relaxation) phases of the movement, as you have to control it so it doesn’t slip,” he adds.
Resistance bands are effective and practical accessories as they can be carried anywhere, allowing you to train even indoors. In addition, they are versatile and can be used in different ways, such as bodybuilding, crossfit and pilates.
According to the physical educator Vanessa Furstenberger, Elastic bands offer a number of benefits as they work together to strengthen joints and muscles, increase muscle strength and endurance, improve stretching and generate a relative increase in muscle volume.
“After a certain period of regular training, the bands end up losing intensity and must be used in some situations together with other equipment (in weight training, pilates, etc.), helping to improve the training”, warns Vanessa .
