THERABAND Tubing with Padded Cuffs are designed to be used for upper-body and lower-body exercises, strength training, rehabilitation, and conditioning. Use this lightweight and easy-to-store product in the clinic, on the go, at the gym, or while you’re home for therapeutic or conditioning purposes. Available in a variety of resistance levels, this resistant tubing improves strength, range of motion, and overall toning of all major muscle groups.

Unique Design and Benefits

The THERABAND Professional Resistance Tubing with Padded Cuffs is constructed of professional-grade natural rubber latex. This tubing features a unique design that is portable, convenient, and lightweight. The design of this product allows you to take your resistance tubing with you to the gym or while you travel for on-the-go rehabilitation or training. The padded cuffs add additional comfort during use and the hook & loop fasteners provide a secure fit.

Color Progression

The color-coded progression system provides visible documentation of progress from one level to the next. At a glance, you are able to track your progress and recognize improvement as it happens.

The Original Trusted Progression™ System

Elastic resistance force and torque
Elastic resistance is a unique type of resistance training compared to other traditional forms, such as isotonic or isokinetic resistances. The resistance provided by elastic bands or tubing is based on the amount that the band or tubing is stretched. This resistance can be measured in pounds/kilograms of force depending on the percentage the band or tubing is stretched from its resting length; this is known as force-elongation.

Regardless of how long the band or tubing is before it’s stretched, the force produced at its stretched length depends on the percent elongation. For example, an initial 2-foot (60 cm) length of green band that is stretched to 4 feet (120 cm, double its resting length) is at 100% elongation. Therefore, the resistance of the band is 4.6 pounds at that elongation. Each progressive step represents a consistent pull-force increase of 25% in the clinical range (Tan through Black) and 40% in the advanced range (Silver and Gold).
