Which factors affect the amount of resistance provided by elastic resistance bands during exercise?
A)Length of the muscle and stretch of the band
B)Stretch of the band and speed of movement
C)Stretch of the band and angle of the band in relation to the moving bone
D)Angle of the band in relation to the moving bone and length of the muscle

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The amount of resistance provided by elastic bands during exercise primarily depends on the stretch or elongation of the band and the angle of the band in relation to the moving bone. The more the band is stretched and the closer it is to perpendicular to the moving bone, the greater the resistance. The length of the muscle and speed of movement may play a secondary role but are not as significant as the other factors.
