Trained Sports CEO Reports Advantages Of Resistance Bands Versus Weights

Resistance Band exercises

(LosAngeles.CityRegions.Com, February 01, 2015 ) Los Angeles, California -- Chris Moal, CEO of sports equipment company Trained Sports, compared the benefits of using resistance bands over free weights. Free weights are any kind of weight that is not attached to a machine. These include barbells, dumbbells, sandbags and weighted medicine balls. Resistance bands are elastic bands in different resistance levels.

A program that uses resistance bands showed that it provides the same benefits to a program that uses free weights. Both programs offer changeable speed of movement, progressive resistance, reduce body fat and improve muscle size and strength.

Free weights work against gravity and going against gravity helps build muscle. But gravity also reduces the capacity to control the weight with every repetition and without control, the risk for injury increases according to Moal.

"On the other hand, resistance bands do not depend on gravity in order to provide resistance. Instead, they provide resistance against the tension along the band. Resistance bands isolate the working muscle, enabling an improved form and more focus," Moal says.

Moal added that resistance bands also provide freedom of movement. "This means that resistance bands have the ability to be used in more functional movements that are similar to both sport-specific and everyday activities. A lot of athletes make use of resistance bands in order to enhance their tennis serves, bat swings, punches, etc. Because free weights depend on gravity in order to offer resistance, they can also give you resistance along the vertical plane," Moal informs.

And as what most people know, the biggest advantage of resistance bands over weights is portability. Bands only weigh ounces and can be packed and taken anywhere. They can be brought to the office, during vacations and at home. In contrast, free weights would depend on the ability of the person to carry or lift them.
