Big Tubing: the Sidea selection

Big Tubing refers to a family of elastic bands, fitness tubes and big tubing tubular sections with an increased diameter, designed to offer significant load-bearing capacity — 30 kg in the Easy version, 60 kg in the Power version — whilst maintaining the'elasticsthe progressive resistance typical of professional-grade latex. Unlike traditional mini bands or flat rehabilitation bands, these elastic bands are designed for use in pulling, assisted pushing and functional overload during high-intensity exercises. The resistance increases in proportion to the stretch, creating a variable load profile that incorporates ballistic and acceleration work in a way that is difficult to replicate with traditional free weights.

Who is Big Tubing for?

Strength and conditioning coaches working on power development in team sport athletes — football, rugby, basketball — find Big Tubing to be a direct tool for assisted sprinting, resistance pulling and braked acceleration exercises. The eccentric overload protocol using high-resistance elastic bands, for example, is systematically employed in the training of sprinters and players who need to improve their acceleration over the first 10–20 metres.

In the pits functional training Big Tubing is incorporated into metabolic circuits as a means of varying the load: the 60 kg weight of the Power version allows you to increase the resistance of movements such as the squat jump or the broad jump without resorting to rigid weights. The belt with a attachment loop makes the system wearable and leaves your hands free to maintain correct movement posture.

Personal trainers working in compact studios appreciate the kit’s versatility: its compact size, portability, and the ability to design complete conditioning sessions for intermediate and advanced clients without the need for fixed equipment. Even in well-equipped home gyms, where space is often the main constraint, Big Tubing allows you to incorporate strength training exercises that would otherwise require bulky equipment.

How to choose

The first criterion is the level of resistance in relation to the training objective and the athlete’s physical profile. The 30 kg Easy Big Tubing is suitable for speed work with moderate resistance, acceleration exercises for junior athletes, or for incorporating resistance into technical movements without compromising the mechanics of the movement. The 60 kg Power Big Tubing, on the other hand, is used for significant overloads: heavy towing, power training for well-built athletes, or isoinertial exercises with high load profiles.

Second element: the attachment method. The object-attachment strap (SKU 1698) allows the elastic strap to be secured to fixed structures such as racks, poles or espaliers. Without a stable anchor point, the system loses its effectiveness and safety. The belt with a ring (SKU 1697), on the other hand, is the componentand which transfers resistance to the athlete’s body in an ergonomic manner, distributing the load across the pelvis and maintaining the mobility of the upper limbs during sprints, jumps and changes of direction.

If you’re starting from scratch, the ready-made kits — the Easy Big Tubing Kit (SKU 1695) and the Power Big Tubing Kit (SKU 1699) — include elastic, a belt and fastening accessories: a practical solution for those who want a complete, ready-to-use system without having to select individual components.

Sidea Products for Big Tubing

The range Big Tubing Sidea comprises two levels of elastic and the associated system accessories:

  • Easy Big Tubing (SKU 1696) — medium-to-low resistance elastic band, 30 kg. Suitable for speed work, assisted acceleration and metabolic circuits with developing athletes, or for technical exercises where the load must not alter the movement pattern.
  • Power Big Tubing (SKU 1699/1) — high-resistance elastic band, 60 kg. Suitable for power training programmes, heavy pulling exercises and ballistic exercises with significant overload.
  • Easy Big Tubing Kit (SKU 1695) — a complete starter set for the 30 kg version, including anchoring accessories and a belt.
  • Power Big Tubing Kit (SKU 1699) — a complete set in the 60 kg version, designed for advanced athletes and trainers seeking maximum strength from the system.
  • Belt with attachment ring (SKU 1697) — an ergonomic component for wearing the system at hip level, compatible with both versions of the elastic strap.
  • Object-attachment strap (SKU 1698) — an accessory for securing the elastic to existing fixed structures, thereby expanding the range of possible usage configurations.

The kits also fall into the category Speed and Agility training, confirming this system’s specific suitability for work on speed and athletic responsiveness.

Why choose Sidea

Sidea has been distributing professional fitness equipment since 1999, with its operational base in Gambettola (FC) and a warehouse covering over 4,000 m², ensuring that products are genuinely in stock. The Big Tubing range is not a generic selection of commercial resistance bands: each component is chosen to meet the specific needs of athletic trainers, functional training instructors and industry professionals. The direct technical consultancy service helps you choose between the two available resistance levels and understand how to integrate the Big Tubing system into a structured programme — without making guesswork or overspending on the investment relative to your objective.

Domande frequenti - Big Tubing

  • Easy Big Tubing offers a resistance of 30 kg, suitable for speed work, acceleration with moderate loads and developing athletes. Power Big Tubing offers up to 60 kg and is designed for explosive power training programmes for well-developed athletes, heavy towing and ballistic overload. The choice depends on the athlete’s physical profile and the intensity of the planned training.
  • The belt with a loop transfers the resistance of the elastic band to the athlete’s body at the hip level, distributing the load ergonomically. It leaves the upper limbs completely free, allowing the athlete to maintain correct running, jumping or change-of-direction technique during exercise. It is the component that makes the system wearable and safe whilst in motion.
  • Yes, for most exercises involving external resistance — towed sprints, acceleration and deceleration drills, partner exercises — a stable anchor point is required. The fastening strap included in the kits allows you to attach the resistance band to racks, wall bars, posts or existing fixed structures. Alternatively, a partner can hold the other end of the resistance band during partner exercises.
  • Assisted and resistance sprints, squat jumps with elastic resistance, broad jumps, lateral pull-through exercises for changes of direction, ballistic hip hinges, acceleration work over short distances (10–20 metres). The progressive resistance of the elastic band makes it particularly effective during the acceleration phase and in the explosive, multi-joint movements typical of athletic training.
  • The system can also be used in advanced home gyms or garage gyms, provided there is a reliable anchor point. It takes up very little space and is easy to transport. However, it is a piece of equipment designed for professional use in terms of intensity and loads: it is not intended for complete beginners, but for those who already have experience of structured training and wish to incorporate power training without the need for large, fixed structures.
  • It depends on the programme and the objectives. In athletic training, power protocols using high-resistance elastic bands are typically incorporated 2–3 times a week, either in sessions dedicated to developing explosive strength or as a ballistic component within conditioning circuits. Resistance bands do not place the same strain on the central nervous system as maximum lifts with free weights, but they should still be managed with progressive loading and adequate recovery.
