Resistance Band Exercises – A very effective way to develop speed and quickness!
Resistance band workouts, when done the way we teach it, isolate and condition your muscles to contract with more speed and quickness then ever before.
The resistance bands have a very unique physical property known as ‘variable elastic potential’. This means that the more you stretch the band the more resistance that is applied.They are able to resist upwards of hundreds of pounds of force yet they weigh only a few ounces. This makes them extremely safe to use.
Many people have the first assumption that resistance bands are meant for weaker or injured people and have no real value in the sports world where athletes, who are considerably bigger and stronger, require more aggressive means of improving their strength and quickness.
Nothing could be further from the truth
Resistance bands exercises are no different than any other exercise from the standpoint of effort that one has to put in to them in order for them to be effective.
Resistance bands can be used as aggressively as the effort you desire to use them with. They can easily be combined with other stronger bands to withstand as much muscular effort as you can possibly deliver.
