Methods: Bands were profiled using a force sensor, standardized to 200 cm length, and manually stretched. Measurements for each band were twice recorded at 11 distances and converted to percentages for standardization. Results: Equations derived from Theraband resistance properties were established (kg = ((elastic constant) ± SE) x percentage of elongation). The standard error ranged from 0.0007 to 0.069, while the coefficient of determination ranged from 0.977 to 0.995. Conclusion: This study provides quantification of resistance across various intensities of Theraband elastic band, offering equations for estimating external load. 2024-12-11T07:15:45Z 2024-12-11T07:15:45Z 2024-11-27 journal article Fernandez-Gamez, B., Pulido-Muñoz, Á., Olvera-Rojas, M., Solis-Urra, P., Corral-Pérez, J., Morales, J.S., Jiménez-Pavón, D., Mora-Gonzalez, J. and Esteban-Cornejo, I.
