Applications for the expander
The prototype of a modern rubber tubular expander is a spring simulator, which was popular in the Soviet Union and was used for training and rehabilitation of patients after injuries and operations. But the metal springs were too stiff and could hurt at the slightest carelessness. They were replaced by a soft and safe rubber, which also has a high degree of elasticity and handles that are comfortable to grip.
Now we can distinguish several areas of application of tubular expanders:
Home workouts – the simulator is chosen by those who monitor the beauty of their body, but do not like to visit fitness clubs. Classes with latex tubes fell in love with beginners who are taking their first steps in fitness and sports.
Professional training – the expander is combined with other shells to increase the load on the muscles. As an example, the joint use of an expander and a bar can be given – this combination additionally stimulates muscles and accelerates their growth.
Rehabilitation – the load that the latex tube gives when stretching does not affect the joints and ligaments. This property of the expander is used to restore the motor activity of patients in the trauma, cardiology departments, as well as athletes who have suffered injuries of the musculoskeletal system.
Buying Tips
When choosing a tubular expander, pay attention to such points:
Load level. This indicator depends on the length of the tube extension, it is determined by the color of the rubber. The set of universal expander in our store includes tubes of the following colors: yellow, blue, green, black and red. The simultaneous use of five tubes gives a total load of 17 kg; when the expander is stretched by 2 m, the total load reaches 25 kg, by 3 m – 32 kg.
The quality of the handles. The handles of our tubular expanders fit comfortably in the palm of your hand, do not crush when stretching the simulator. The material, neoprene, has good grip on the palm, does not slip during exercise.
The quality of latex. When stretched, the colored latex will not whiten, light spots are a sign that the tube may break. We do not recommend buying cheap models in Chinese online stores – such expanders quickly lose their elasticity, and if they break, they can cause serious injury.
The quality of the fasteners. Carabiners on tubes, door fasteners and other parts are made of durable materials.
