FLEXIBILITY & MOBILITY BANDS
$25AUD
Flexibility and mobility are important for enhancing strength or sports performance. One of the best tools for helping to achieve this is the flexibility and mobility band. So I have introduced the www.danbakerstrength.com flexibility and mobility band.
You need strength with length to enhance to sports performance!
We have Flexibility/Mobility bands in 3 sizes – All for $25
- Small – 85 cm flat length, better for athletes up to 165 cm
- Medium – 100 cm flat length, better for athletes 165 to 185 cm
- Large – 115 cm flat length, better for athletes over 185 cm
Our mobility/flexibility bands (and Tiger Tails) waiting to be used for the Broncos pre-game warmup at Suncorp Stadium. Rollers and LAX balls were also part of the bunch of tools available to players to address their personal mobility and flexibility issues before starting the TEAM WARMUP.
FLEXIBILITY – The advantage of the band is that its’ elastic properties allows the trainer to perform many difficult, but effective Propioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) stretches without the aid of a partner or trainer. Or you can do static holds for 30 to 60+ seconds.
MOBILITY – Mobility is the dynamic use of flexibility, the ability to move throughout a range of motion without hinderance. Use the band to perform drills in the end range of motion.
To enhance flexibility of a muscle/joint, follow this pattern:
- PNF – Use the band to perform 3 x PNF contract/relax drills of 5-6 seconds each (= 30-45 seconds) to establish range of motion
- Dynamic flexibility/mobility – Use the band to perform mobility drills in the end range and past the static end range to take the muscles and joint to a new range of motion
- Static flexibility – Use the band to perform a static hold to reinforce this new range that steps 1 & 2 have now established
The medium size band (1-meter flat length) will suit most athletes
