Resistance bands provide a versatile tool for exercises by utilizing their elasticity for resistance, which increases throughout the motion range.
This enables exercises with variable resistance useful for specific muscle adaptations.
Quadriceps, located on the front of the upper leg, are key muscles used in knee extension and hip flexion, supporting many lower-body movements.
While these exercises can be effective for individuals of various capacities, suggested weights and repetitions are tailored to an average male (height: 5'10", weight: 180 lbs, age: 35 years), though adjustments may be necessary based on personal ability.
