Flex Band Training:
Erie FC often incorporates Flex Band Training in its practice, conditioning, and clinic sessions. Training with flex bands incorporates all aspects of a comprehensive exercise program - cardiovascular, strength, and flexibility.
Cardiovascular training involves conditioning the heart and lungs to work more effectively, while often aiding in burning calories and losing weight.
Strength training is necessary to build stronger muscles. Stronger muscles can improve energy, posture, balance, and coordination.
Flexibility training, often overlooked, is one of the most important components in increasing and sustaining athletic performance. At the least, flexibility allows an athlete to gain greater range of motion and is essential to aid in injury prevention.
EFC's Certified Sports & Conditioning Specialist has developed a specialized Flex Band Training program that improves all aspects of the comprehensive training program. This, in turn, leads to an increase in each athlete's health and athletic performance.
