Research Says Resistance Bands Help Increase Acceleration

(LosAngeles.CityRegions.Com, May 07, 2015 ) Los Angeles, California -- Resistance bands have become a part of fitness gyms all over the world but not all fitness enthusiasts are using these bands. According to Trained Sports CEO Chris Moal, if a person is still not making use of resistance bands, then he is not taking advantage of all the tools available in order to improve his body.

Strong and burly men are flaunting their use of the bands and if this is not enough to make others use resistance bands, Moal says that scientific research might convince others.

A research wanted to take a look at the effects of using resistance bands along with free weight barbells when bench-pressing on professional athletes and elite rugby players. The researchers studied the acceleration-deceleration and velocity profiles of the participants when bench-pressing. The different conditions were then measured when bench pressing a loaded barbell and when doing the same with an added resistance band.

The results showed that when resistance bands were included in the barbell, the athletes showed a significantly longer phase of acceleration. The results showed an increase of 13 to 35 percent. Maximal velocity is also improved with adding a resistance band.

The study concludes that barbell bench presses along with resistance bands seem to evenly distribute the range of motion, which results to an increased acceleration. In other words, participants reached faster speeds and had this improvement in speed for longer. The advantages are crucial for sports like rugby, which needs high strength levels and explosive power.

Trained Sports Resistance Bands are distributed by Moal's company and is exclusively available on Amazon. The bands have various tension levels that can be made to suit various fitness levels. Various tension level bands may be used in combination in order to have more challenge.
