FLEXability

Why?
Stretching your muscles is good preparation for all types of sports and fitness; it helps prevent injury for people who exercise intensely, or, on the flipside, for people whose muscles are stiff. By fitting out the stretching area in your club with equipment featuring cutting-edge technology, you’ll open new horizons for your business, relaunching an activity that has the potential for a very broad user spectrum.

The FLEXability™ Line is Anterior and Posterior, two pieces of equipment that together stretch all the body’s main muscle groups, designed to achieve maximum performance for minimum effort in every exercise.

Users can adjust FLEXability™ entirely on their own; it’s designed for total comfort, revolutionizing the stretching experience and transforming it into a pleasant new form of exercise.

Who’s it for?
Athletes who want to prevent strains and other injury and reduce the muscle tension caused by intense, targeted workouts.

For mature exercisers, who want to maintain and, where possible, improve the elasticity and flexibility of their joints and the efficiency of their muscles.

For people who want to relax with a pleasant exercise that’s non-invasive but still produces results for your physical condition.

For newcomers to physical activity, in order to increase their ability to move and help get themselves into a more active lifestyle: the more movement they’re able to do, the easier it will be to tackle all the other options available in your club.

Stretching your muscles doesn’t require specific training, and that’s even more true with FLEXability™: thanks to its Method (dynamic, innovative, and patented), the line makes it possible to gradually adjust the stretching range based on your weight, preventing any risk under any condition and for any user.

And for people who want that extra incentive?
FLEXability™ is designed for that too: thanks to an assessment and feedback system on reachable results, the equipment measures the progress of your flexibility, motivating all types of users to improve their mobility and muscle extension day after day.

Choose flexibility: with FLEXability™, traditional stretching takes on a new face, becoming a high-performance activity that’s engaging for every user segment.

Resistance band exercises are widely used by a variety of health and fitness practitioners – both for general strength and conditioning and rehabilitation or injury prevention.

Resistance band exercises are ideal for home exercise programs and can easily be incorporated into a circuit training format helping to condition cardiovascular system as well as strengthening specific muscle groups. Because resistance tubing is so compact and lightweight, it can be used while away from home.

Resistance tubing is extremely adaptable and a large number of resistance band exercises can be developed with very little additional equipment. Smaller muscle groups that are hard to train with more traditional free weight exercises can be targeted with resistance tubing. This makes it particularly appealing to athletic conditioning.

Sports-specific conditioning involves training movements rather than individual muscle groups. The versatility of resistance band exercises allows the athlete to mirror very closely the movement patterns in their sport with varying degrees of resistance. Perhaps even more important is the role they can play in injury prevention and rehabilitation.

Resistance Band Exercises for Injury Prevention & Rehabilitation

Few studies have examined the effects of resistance band exercises on strengthening a specific muscle group. As a result no definite guidelines exist as to the number of sets, repetitions and amount of resistance that should be used. However, many health and fitness practitioners use resistance tubing routinely to prevent and rehabilitate overuse injuries by strengthening often smaller, neglected muscle groups.

For example, athletic movements such as a baseball pitch can place considerable demand on the posterior rotator cuff muscles (external rotators, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor). These muscles undergo eccentric contraction during the declaration phase of the pitch  which places considerable strain on the shoulder . However, the same muscles may not be effectively worked with traditional isotonic exercises . If larger muscle groups, such as the deltoids, become stronger and are able to cope with and apply greater force, this may further compromise the rotator cuff muscles.

A program of resistance band exercises to compliment regular strength training may be able to improve the strength of more isolated muscle groups such as the rotator cuff . Additionally, training these otherwise neglected muscles may even improve performance.

Of course resistance band exercises can be used for more than simply strengthening more isolated muscle groups. The exercises below work the major muscle groups are only a small sample of the many hundreds of variations that have been devised.

Athletes may want to incorporate them into an off season training program when recovery and regeneration is the most important goal.

Resistance bands are available in a range of colors that relate to their stiffness or resistance. Color-coding varies between the brands but it typically as follows:

Yellow (thin)

Red (medium)

Green (heavy)

Blue (extra heavy)

Black (special heavy)

Silver (super heavy)
