In contrast to traditional weight training equipment, resistance bands do not load the body in the same way. Before stretching, resistance bands create very little resistance. In addition, resistance changes throughout the range of motion - the greater the stretch within the band, the higher the resistance.
Resistance bands currently on the market are divided into physical therapy resistance bands, loop resistance bands, and tube resistance bands. Let's learn more about them together!
