Resistance Training With Rubber Tubing or Stretchable Bands

Muscular fitness refers to having muscles that can lift heavier objects or work for longer periods without tiring. There are two ways to measure muscular strength: isometric, which measures tension with no change in muscle length; and isotonic, which measures strength during muscle shortening or lengthening against resistance. Tips to improve muscular fitness include warming up and cooling down, stretching, eating a nutritious diet, staying hydrated, resistance training, and performing exercises regularly. Strength training provides benefits such as increased strength and fitness, better bone and muscle health, weight management, improved body mechanics, chronic disease management, higher energy levels, and cardiovascular benefits.

1. Define Muscular Fitness

Muscle fitness means having muscles that can lift heavier objects or muscles that will
work longer before becoming exhausted. Muscle fitness improves when a person does activities
that build or maintain muscles (strength) or that increase how long a person can use his or her
muscles (endurance).

2. Name the 2 ways to measure muscular strength

 Isometric – muscle action when tension is produced but there is no change in the length
of the muscle (ie., hand grip dynometer)
 Isotonic – muscle action in which a muscle shortens or lengthens with varying tension
and velocity while overcoming a constant resistance throughout ROM (ie., bench press)

3. Cite tips to improve muscular fitness

 warm up and cool down - Before beginning any sort of physical activity, it’s crucial to
spend 10-20 minutes warming up
 stretch - Spending 10-15 minutes stretching your main muscle groups can drastically
muscle tears.
 Diet - What you eat greatly impacts the health of your muscles. 
 Hydrate - Staying hydrated is important for overall health, including blood flow, kidney
function, and digestive functions.
 Exercise - Exercise is very important for maintaining muscle health.
 Resistance training with rubber tubing or stretchable bands.

4. Enumerate the benefits of strength training

 Makes you stronger and fitter.


 Protects bone health and muscle mass.
 Helps keep the weight off for good.
 Helps you develop better body mechanics.
 Helps with chronic disease management.
 Boosts energy levels and improves your mood.
 Translates to more calories burned.
 Has cardiovascular health benefits.
