Elastic Band Prediction Equations for Combined Free-Weight and Elastic Band Bench Presses and Squats

Abstract: Elastic bands added to traditional free-weight techniques have become a part of suggested training routines in recent years. Because of the variable loading patterns of elastic bands (i.e., greater stretch produces greater resistance), it is necessary to quantify the exact loading patterns of bands to identify the volume and intensity of training. The purpose of this study was to determine the length vs. tension properties of multiple sizes of a set of commonly used elastic bands to quantify the resistance tha… Show more

“…This underestimate is further exaggerated at lower band lengths when the loading curves are steeper. Given the range of band lengths that are likely to be encountered with combined loading, error could be significant according to the published band length deformation curves (Mcmaster, et al, 2010;Shoepe, et al, 2010). Overestimation would therefore be more pronounced in lifters of a smaller stature and results in sex specific differences in volume estimation where women would likely encounter a greater error than men on average.…”

“…Previous work (Shoepe, et al, 2010) experimentally calculated the loading properties of a set of rubberbands such that for a given length of band (x), the force applied can be calculated as a function of x. This set of regression equations as experimentally determined is shown in Table 1.…”
