Resistance Bands Research Shows Improvement On Bones

(LosAngeles.CityRegions.Com, March 20, 2015 ) Los Angeles, California -- Resistance bands, as well as other muscle strengthening exercises apply a force on the bones. Muscles are connected to the skeletons through tendons. If the muscles are worked harder than normal, the muscles and tendons apply a harder pull on adjacent bones thereby encouraging them to slow down bone loss.

Research on strength training and bone density has been done with machines since the variables are simple to control. However, research has been conducted with resistance bands and muscle strength. Research show that resistance bands show comparable muscle strength gains to weight machines.

"In the book Strength Band Training, the authors reveal that research show that resistance band training offers the same benefit in strength gains compared to the use of more expensive weight training machines. In a study conducted in 2008, they compared ten weeks of resistance-based and machine-based exercises of the same intensities and results showed that both groups increased muscle mass and strength significantly and that strength training of the legs using resistance bands can improve mobility, balance and gait," Moal says.

Improving balance and agility are important for a person to stay on his feet and for the bones. Because a lot of fractures happen because of a fall, chances of falls and fracture are reduced when a person is balanced and agile.

Resistance bands can be used virtually anywhere with sufficient space and can be packed along inside a bag to ensure that a person never misses a workout. Trained Sports Resistance Bands, available on Amazon, also comes with its own carrying case for added mobility.
