The Vissco Active Band 4042BL is a Heavy Resistance exercise band in Blue, designed to add controlled resistance to strength training, physical therapy, rehabilitation and functional exercise routines. Its compact format makes it suitable for use at home, in the gym or as part of an appropriate physiotherapy programme.
The Heavy Resistance level provides more challenge than the Light and Medium variants in the Vissco Active Band range. It can be incorporated into exercises for different muscle groups, including upper-body, lower-body and core movements, depending on the user's exercise programme and ability. Vissco specifically lists the Active Band for physical therapy, rehabilitation, muscle and joint strengthening, endurance and balance training, and sports-specific training.
The correct resistance should be selected according to the exercise, user's strength and training objective. For rehabilitation following an injury or medical procedure, resistance and exercises should be selected according to advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
