Other means include gravity, inertia, fluid resistance, and elastic resistance.
Heavy-duty rubber bands, tubing, and springs are forms of elastic resistance.
The exercises included three hip and one knee exercise with an elastic resistance band.
Nanoindentation measurements confirm the stability and improved elastic resistance of the structured surfaces.
The transition from elastic resistance to viscous flow is controlled by von Mises' yield condition, and subsequent behavior is governed by a quasi-linear plasticity model.
The elastic resistance tubing, three-pound dumbbells, and stability and medicine balls would not challenge Charles Atlas, but they are just right for these retired or semiretired women.
The premise of using elastic resistance is that the greater the stretch of the band or spring, the greater the force needed to overcome the resistance.
Elastic resistance may be integrated with gravitational resistance as well as fluid resistance to create yet again another variable for the muscle to adapt to.
Intervention participants received a pedometer, elastic resistance bands, DVD, training manual, calendars, log-book, video coaching calls and newsletters.
To investigate whether elastic resistance training can induce comparable levels of muscle activity as conventional machine training in patients with chronic stroke.
Outcome measures: The exercise-integrated system consisted of a sensor attached to the elastic resistance band that was connected to the Bandtrainer app on an electronic tablet device.
