THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT OVERLOADS WITH THERA-BANDS
ON LEG STRENGTH
ABSTRACT
Muscle strength is an important physical property in terms of both leading daily works
easily and increasing sporting performance. Muscle strength can be developed by using
various resistant goods (for example; elastic bands). The purpose of this study is to investigate
the effect of different overloads with Thera-Bands on leg strength.
Thirty-six healthy male students [mean (age) =21.03] studying at Physical Education
participated to this study as volunteer subjects were divided into three groups randomly as
two experimental groups (16 Repeating groups”16 RG”, 8 repeating groups”8 RG”) and a
control group. Experimental groups were applied to strength training program for extensor
leg muscle that led three days a week, three sets a day and 16/8 repeating in each set (90second
rest between sets). Subjects were used Thera-Band as a resistant tool. Static leg
strength of the subjects was measured before and after 6-week strength training program. In
the data analysis, Wilcoxon, Kruskal Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests were used.
The results of the showed that while experimental groups showed statistically
significant developments from pre-tests to post-tests in terms of static leg strengths (p.05). Further, the results of follow-up analyses
revealed that the difference with regard to development of leg strength from pre-tests to posttests
between 8 RG and control group was statistically significant (p
