Abstract
Accurate work and volume quantification is essential to resistance exercise programing and in establishing appropriate design controls during research investigations. Viscoelastic properties of elastic band resistance create logarithmic, variable loading patterns, which complicate standard volume calculations (e.g. sets x reps x resistance). Work during elastic loading can be directly measured with force plate technology, but these instruments are not widely available to health and fitness specialists or strength coaches. Regression equations for band resistance have been previously described, however, calculations for work estimation have yet to be fully developed.
