Resistance band is a small physical training tool which is easy to carry, easy to use and very effective. It is also called elastic band. More than 100 years ago, resistance training with resistance was applied in the field of fitness, mainly for men's strength training and women's fitness programs. And resistance band is widely used in the field of rehabilitation training.

Like weight training, resistance training or strength training is designed to increase muscle mass. Weight training is a subclass of resistance training, which is provided by gravity. The resistance provided by the resistance band is the elasticity of the band itself. The resistance band is much more convenient than the typical force equipment, lighter in weight and more convenient to carry. It is composed of rubber strip or plastic hand holding device, which is easy to use.

A typical use of resistance band is to stand with the end of the rubber band at your feet, hold the other end with one or two hands, and then pull the rubber band upward. This is equivalent to lifting a heavy weight by hand to do a bending lift of biceps brachii.

Resistance bands are a great alternative and adjunct to even traditional strength training programs. They are cheap and versatile.

In fact, studies have shown that muscles respond to strength training just like resistance bands, as do other types of devices, such as free weights and different devices


People sometimes avoid using resistance bands because they are not familiar with how to use them. Compared with dumbbells and other equipment, exercise with resistance band will feel a little different. For example, in a dumbbell curl, when you bend your arm and relax it, you're building muscles.
