“overall energy expenditure was recorded highest in our subject wearing the Flex nimbo 76 lb band”

“The Flex nimbo is an overall training device that employs constant applied resistance bands from the shoulders to the extremities to increase the effectiveness of a workout surpassing all other forms of resistance band devices”
Influence of Flex Nimbo Equipment on Performance Variable in Male College Athletes
Resistance training (RT) increases muscle strength by putting a muscle against a weight or force that is greater than normally exerted. There are various training programs of RT that can be designed to increase muscle size and strength or focus on improving velocity of movement and endurance.
Skeletal muscle is a plastic tissue and will adapt to stimuli, however, it is also highly specific. Due to this specificity, sport strength and conditioning coaches are constantly seeking to find training programs and devices that mimic sport activity. The goal is to offer the most accurate and realistic stimulus possible to lead to maximal gains in athletic performance.
The Flex Nimbo is a training device that was designed bio-mechanically to mimic the human musculoskeletal structure. It claims to increase range of motion, joint stability, force generation, and strength, which will relate to improvements in sport performance.
A five-week study has been developed in order to test the effectiveness of Flex Nimbo in areas such as strength and performance, flexibility, and agility. The subjects will be 20 B-W male athletes; 10 will use Flex Nimbo during their work out routines and 10 will not. A pre- and post-test of the skills being tested will be used to assess the effectiveness of Flex Nimbo.
