Research-Mania...and film comments

Today my Mom and I looked over the film I had gotten from interviews with Katie and Bernie. Before I had watched the tape, I was extremely nervous with the sound being too low. After watching, we had come to find that the volume was hearable, and I could raise it if I absolutely needed to. I have some great footage, which is surely going to be used. I brainstormed out an outline for my presentation which basically will break down Katie's injury, and each section will be kicked off with a video piece of Bernie or Katie explaining each topic of rehabilitation.

In the footage I captured, Katie is starting her rehabilitation process out slowly by doing resistance band exercises. Below is a picture and some information regarding this topic. ENJOY!'

Basic Info
-Have a unique property known as "variable elastic potential". Meaning the more you stretch, the more resistance is applied.
-Can be used with stronger bands, for strengthening.
-Makes for better range of motion when injured, used with an isometric training strategy. Helps flexability

Speed and Quickness
-Expose coordination weakness, and muscle weakness.
-You will see this happening when your muscles begin to shake, showing that the muscle wants to return to a un-contracted state.
-When the muscle starts to shake, even slightly, while holding the position, the changing length of the band alters the bands resistance level and the new resistance level is sent back to the muscle. The muscle then attempts to quickly react and adjust to the constantly changing force provided by the band.




-Each color resembles a different thickness, for each level of intensity depending on your stage of fitness or rehabilitation.
-Often found in physical therapy areas, and athletic training
