The loop band is suitable for all levels offitnessfromthosejust lookingtogetbackinto shape to those individuals who arelookingtoadvancetheirfitnesstothenextlevel.Often in rehabilitationsettings, loopresistancebandsareusedtoperformbasicexercises to help achieve and regain fullfunction following injury. The variety instrengthlevelsprovidesoptionsforall.

The loop resistance bands aid in botheccentric and concentric contractions.Concentric contractions are when themuscle shortens. For example, in ourrowing exercise this would be happeningwhenpulling theband towardyourchest.Eccentric contractions occur when themuscle lengthens.Thistypeofcontractionwould be the slow and controlledmovementof straightening thearmsbacktothestartpositionfortheseatedrow.Byfocusing on both types of contraction,morestrengthcanbegainedthrougheachandeveryexercise.
