Thera-Band® Professional Resistance Tubing with Soft Handles - Polybagged
Thera-Band® tubing with attached handles is endorsed by the American Physical Therapy Association, and utilizes the recognized Thera-Band® system of progression and familiar colors pioneered over 30 years ago. The system of progression provides for consistent increase in resistance level to offer a measurable means of tracking progress. Each natural rubber tube supplied in Yellow, Red, Green and Blue resistance levels is 48” long, while those supplied in Black and Silver resistance levels are 50” long. The tubes are provided with soft cushioned foam handles for a comfortable grip during use, and exercise routines are provided at the www.Thera-BandAcademy.com site.
Use of the Thera-Band® system of bands and tubing assures consistent and familiar resistance levels and assurance of professional grade quality.
What color band or tubing should I use?
Thera-Band® bands and tubing are color-coded to identify the level of resistance. The color band or tubing you use depends on the results you want to achieve with your strengthening routine. The lighter resistance levels (tan and yellow) are good for persons in the early stages of rehabilitation. Medium levels of resistance (red and green) are good for those persons starting a strengthening program, or for persons increasing muscular endurance. Higher levels of resistance (blue, black, silver, and gold) are for more advanced exercisers needing more resistance. Consult with an exercise or healthcare professional to determine which resistance is best for you.
