Laburpena

Los beneficios de los programas de entrenamiento de la fuerza con peso libre y máquinas isocinéticas del tipo isotónico han sido bien documentados en todas las franjas de edad. Sin embargo, los profesionales del ejercicio y la salud algunas veces se preguntan si es posible obtener los mismos resultados con dispositivos de resistencia variable, como por ejemplo las bandas elásticas. Para responder a esta pregunta, el objetivo de esta revisión sistemática fue identificar y resumir los efectos positivos de los ejercicios de fuerza con elásticos empleados a lo largo de las diferentes etapas de la vida sobre resultados relacionados con la salud, incluyendo la composición corporal, capacidad funcional, rendimiento físico y algunas variables bioquímicas. Un objetivo secundario fue identificar los parámetros de dosificación comunes de los programas de entrenamiento de la fuerza usando resistencia elástica.
