POWER LOOP<\/h2>\n

Power Loops are high-resistance elastic bands, 1000 mm in length, which can be used for many applications: bar pull-ups, barbell training, pair-restrained running, free body exercises against resistance.<\/p>\n

The resistance of elastic bands is progressive. In order to allow a practical and effective orientation between the different elastic bands, we give two indications of resistance expressed in kilograms: the first refers to the force required for the elastic band to begin to deform, i.e. to stretch, while the second refers to the force required to stretch the elastic band by +100 cm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

These are approximate values, which we wanted to express in kilograms to allow for practical orientation. Therefore, the Power Loop code 0518<\/span>orange in colour, very strong, it starts to stretch with a force of 30 kg, reaching 60 kg when its elongation reaches one metre.<\/p>\n

Resistors ranging from 0513 to 0516 are the most commonly used in assisted Muscle Up.<\/p>\n

Insight: the Power Loop<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I Power Loop<\/strong> are closed loop elastic bands, available in various sizes and strengths, and have achieved great success in recent years due to the growing interest in thefunctional training<\/strong>. Resistance with elastic ring bands has already been known and used for years by many athletic trainers and\/or calisthenics experts. Athletic trainers who are no longer very young will well remember the use of inner tubes from bicycle wheels used to strengthen muscles, perform pulling exercises or as 'spotters' for more difficult exercises.<\/p>\n

One of the greatest pioneers of auxotonic training is the physiotherapist of the German national football team Erich Deuser<\/strong>. Already in the early 1950s, he had a ring band produced in order to strengthen and train the musculoskeletal system of his athletes and noticed great advantages in treating his patients' ailments through specific exercises. He also wrote a manual, 'Die Deuserband Gymnastik', which is a kind of vademecum on exercises that can be performed with elastic resistance. The term 'functional training' can already be found in this book, which is why, from the very beginning, the power loop is an excellent product to use in one's own functional training programmes.<\/p>\n

Advantages and versatility<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The power loop is a comfortable, lightweight and versatile tool that is simple to use and easy to transport wherever you want: to the park, on holiday, at work or on the playground. It comes in different sizes and strengths, from the smallest, the SLIM model code 0513<\/span> (red, 6 kg resistance measured at 100 cm elongation) to the largest, model STRONG code 0518<\/span> (colour orange, 60 kg resistance measured at 100 cm elongation).<\/p>\n

One of its greatest advantages is that it can be anchored to any structure, fixed or not: whether it is a bar on which we can perform pull-ups, a hook on the floor or our own feet, the power loop allows us to perform any type of exercise in complete safety.<\/p>\n

Power loops and training<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The use of this product is often associated with sports practice, especially in athletic preparation, and functional training. Many athletic trainers in fact supplement specific strength sessions with more dynamic and explosive exercises with the Power Loop. The type of muscle contraction is auxotonic and increases progressively as the elastic band is stretched. In field exercises it is preferred to the use of weights because it is 'customised', i.e. it responds differently depending on the strength and explosiveness of the user. Thanks to this feature, the time needed to load and\/or unload the barbell is almost eliminated, as it is quick and easy to use.<\/p>\n

It is usually proposed as an 'aid' in the execution of exercises such as Pull-ups and Muscle-ups, as it gives a thrust, depending on the resistance of the Loop itself, which allows the full execution of the required movement. This is one of the many uses it can have, but it would be really reductive to entrust it only with this characteristic. The Power Loop in fact allows the execution of all 7 fundamental movements:<\/p>\n
