What Do the Different Colours Represent?
The three included Theraband colours represent three 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% |
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.
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 the lowest level resistance band, yellow, 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.
How Long are the TheraBands?
All three TheraBands stretch to a maximum of 1.5m in length.
