Elastic bands for training

Resistance bands are an important part of the Sports Pharmacy > Training Equipment category, as they are used for strength exercises, stretching, muscle activation, stabilization and functional training. They are practical for exercising at home, in the gym, clinic, rehabilitation space or during recreational activity.

This category includes products such as the Thera-Band CLX Loop band and the Thera-Band professional red medium resistance band 1.5 m. Resistance bands enable controlled resistance training and can be useful for activating the muscles of the arms, legs, shoulders, back and core.

Pharmacist’s advice

Use resistance bands gradually and choose resistance according to your fitness level. Before exercising, check that the band is not damaged, and during movement avoid sudden stretching and jerking.
