Objective:
The objective of this paper is to quantify muscle load using Theraband elastic bands across seven resistance intensities.
Methods:
Bands were profiled using a force sensor, standardized to 200 cm length, and manually stretched. Measurements for each band were twice recorded at 11 distances and converted to percentages for standardization.
Results:
Equations derived from Theraband resistance properties were established (kg = ((elastic constant) ± SE) × percentage of elongation). The standard error ranged from 0.0007 to 0.069, while the coefficient of determination ranged from 0.977 to 0.995.
Conclusion:
This study provides quantification of resistance across various intensities of Theraband elastic band, offering equations for estimating external load.

Equation of the Elastic Curve
Consider a cantilever beam with a point load at its free end (for instance, a diving board). When analyzing beam deflection with small slopes, the shape of the beam's elastic curve becomes key. The governing equation for this analysis involves the bending moment and the beam's flexural...
