Alternative Strength Options
These Red TheraBand Resistance Bands are classed as a Medium Resistance Band, as you can see in the table below. We also carry the Resistance Loops in the following strengths/colours:
What Do the Different Colours Represent?
The four Therband colours represent four different resistance levels. Please see the table below find out what strength each colour signifies.
Colour and Resistance | Resistance at 100% Elongation | Resistance Increase |
Yellow - Light | 1.3kg/3lb | - |
Red - Medium | 1.7kg/3.7lb | 25% |
Green - Heavy | 2.1kg/4.6lb | 25% |
Blue - Extra Heavy | 2.6kg/5.8lb | 25% |
What Does 100% Elongation Mean?
The strength classifications of each TheraBand are graded by their resistance at 100% Elongation. By 100% elongation, we mean when a length of band has been stretched to twice its original measurement.
This applies to any length of measurement you cut. For example, if you cut a 100cm length of TheraBand, 100% elongation would be when the piece is stretched to 200cm.
Easily Track Progress with Different Band Colours
The colour-coded resistance spectrum makes it easy to track the progression of you or your client. The colours represent different resistance levels as seen above, so simply move up a colour level as you or a client gradually gets stronger.
Need Higher or Lower Levels of Resistance?
These loops are really convenient as they're supplied in four resistance levels that should support most people. However, if you would prefer a higher or lower level or resistance, the Sheet Roll Model of TheraBand is available in eight different resistance levels.
What Can the Latex Resistance Bands Be Used For?
With four different resistance levels and a clear progression system, the TheraBand Resistance Bands are hugely versatile. They're great for a variety of scenarios including but not limited to:
- Increasing strength
- Increasing flexibility
- Toning
- Rehabilitation
- Physiotherapy
- Stretching before or after exercising
Fantastic for Rehabilitation and Recovery
The progression system used by TheraBand makes them the natural choice for professionals or those doing at home rehabilitation. It allows you to build your strength back gradually over time, even when recovering from a serious injury.
If you start with a lower resistance level like this Red (Medium) Band, or even lower with the Yellow (Light) Band, the chance of reinjury or aggravating your injury are much lower.
Take Bodyweight Exercise to the Next Level
Lifting heavy weights isn't for everyone and some people prefer bodyweight exercises, but other than simply raising the amount of reps, this can be limiting. Adding TheraBand Resistance Bands to bodyweight exercises can raise the difficulty, building your fitness and strength levels. But because of how lightweight and compact they are, you can still exercise at home or outside.
Tough, Natural Latex Build
These resistance exercise bands are made of TheraBand's specially formulated natural latex. Not only is it naturally elastic, which is great for exercise, but it's also really durable and has a comfortable feel.
Prefer Non-Latex TheraBand Resistance Bands?
As we mentioned, latex is touch and flexible, but latex allergies are common, which can cause nasty skin reactions. Luckily we also carry THERAND Latex-Free Resistance Bands.
