1. Material and Elasticity
High elasticity materials: Natural latex or high-quality synthetic rubber (such as TPE), which can quickly rebound after stretching and avoid permanent deformation.
Anti-tear Resistance: Possesses strong anti-tear performance to prevent injuries caused by sudden rupture (especially under high load conditions).
Low Allergy: If allergic to latex, choose synthetic materials without latex (marked as "Latex-Free" clearly).
2. Resistance Level
Staged Resistance: Resistance bands are usually color-coded for resistance levels. The resistance ranges from 10kg to over 100kg+.
Beginner: Select high resistance to provide more assistance and facilitate the completion of the movements.
Advanced level: Gradually reduce resistance, decrease reliance, and enhance the ability to exert force independently.
Stackable for use: If a single resistance band is insufficient, it can be combined with multiple ones for a more effective workout.
3. Dimension Design
Width and Thickness: Elastic bands that are wider and thicker usually offer greater resistance (for example, bands with a width of ≥ 5 cm are suitable for adult pull-ups).
Ring-shaped closed design: Facilitates fixation on the horizontal bar, and is stable and less likely to slip off when in use.
4. Durability and Safety
Anti-slip texture: The surface is equipped with an anti-slip layer to prevent slipping when stepping on it (especially when sweaty).
Anti-wear coating: The outer layer is resistant to friction and prevents damage caused by long-term contact with the bar or rough surfaces.
Temperature adaptability: The material maintains elasticity in cold/heat environments.
5. Portability and Storage
Lightweight: Easy to carry to the gym or outdoors.
Easy to store: Foldable or rollable, it doesn't occupy space (avoiding entanglement and knotting).
