(Health-NewsWire.Net, September 19, 2015 ) London, UK -- Resistance training offers several benefits apart from strength and muscle building. Depending on the fitness gear and the intensity of the workout performed, they can also help burn calories, strengthen bones and make joints more capable of withstanding injury. Free weights and resistance bands are among the most popular gears used for this purpose.
But which gear is actually more effective? Some say that the effectiveness of the fitness gear used will much depend on the person's preference and personal goals. And yet, some researches have also revealed compelling reasons convince us that resistance bands work better than free weight.
"Resistance bands allow linear variable resistance, a unique benefit that free weights do not offer," said Jim Stoppani, a PhD from Bodylastics. Stoppani explains that the resistance provided by Smarter Trend resistance bands or some other elastic equipment, increases as the range of motions performed in an exercise routine also increases. As an example, the resistance that the Smarter Trend Loop Bands provides would increase as the hands are curled up towards the shoulder when doing biceps curls. This variation is not possible with free weights.
Linear variable resistance stimulates the body to use more muscle fibers even when performing what otherwise would have been a simple and ordinary exercise routine. The more muscle fibers are used, the better the body's adaptation to the strength building workouts. Thus, using products similar to Smarter Trend resistance bands can greatly improve the outcomes of various training programs.
Stoppani also said that a study also disclosed that athletes who included the use of elastic tubes in their bench press training routines developed greater beach press power and strength compared to those who just performed ordinary bench presses.
Another critical difference between free weights and produces like the Smarter Trend resistance bands is that the latter can help the user avoid "cheating" in performing exercises -- something that some people, especially the beginners, are not always mindful about. "Cheating" happens when the person uses momentum to continually move the weight. Externally, it might seem that the person is still lifting the weight at full capacity. The truth is, the muscle fibers may no longer be maximally activated since physics is already aiding in the movement of the weight.
Smarter Trend Workout Bands do not develop momentum, thus the user cannot use physics to "cheat" the exercise routine. Since momentum will not play any role in helping the user continue to move the resistance, the movement always has to come from the stretching of the resistance band; and the only way for the user to remain moving is by using more muscle fibers to continually stretch the material. For this reason, the resistance band used also has to remain highly elastic and resistive even after extended use.
