But did you know that there is a universal colour system for resistance bands that helps therapists and trainers around the world instantly identify the level of resistance?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>MVS In Motion<\/strong> offers two top notch ranges of resistance bands: the classic <strong>Moves <\/strong>bands and the more vibrant and modern <strong>Moves FIT<\/strong> line. In this blog, we will guide you through the resistance levels, colour coding, and elongation percentages. That way, you can confidently recommend or select the best tools for your clients and patients.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The universal colour code for resistance bands<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Resistance bands follow a widely accepted colour scheme, particularly popular among physiotherapists and rehabilitation professionals. Each colour represents a different resistance level:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-2086\" src=\"https:\/\/mvs-in-motion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/moves-colour-resistance-scheme.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"390\" height=\"291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mvs-in-motion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/moves-colour-resistance-scheme.png 844w, https:\/\/mvs-in-motion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/moves-colour-resistance-scheme-300x224.png 300w, https:\/\/mvs-in-motion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/moves-colour-resistance-scheme-768x572.png 768w, https:\/\/mvs-in-motion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/moves-colour-resistance-scheme-16x12.png 16w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 390px) 100vw, 390px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These colours are globally recognised and allow for quick, intuitive selection during therapy or training sessions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Moves FIT colours: same resistance, fresh look<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To appeal to a broader customer base and keep things fresh, we offer <strong>Moves FIT<\/strong>, a youthful and trendy alternative to the traditional colours. While the resistance levels are exactly the same as the universal coding, the colours have been given a more contemporary makeover:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-2087\" src=\"https:\/\/mvs-in-motion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/fit-colour-resistance-scheme.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"390\" height=\"290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mvs-in-motion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/fit-colour-resistance-scheme.png 845w, https:\/\/mvs-in-motion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/fit-colour-resistance-scheme-300x223.png 300w, https:\/\/mvs-in-motion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/fit-colour-resistance-scheme-768x572.png 768w, https:\/\/mvs-in-motion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/fit-colour-resistance-scheme-16x12.png 16w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 390px) 100vw, 390px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>By offering both Moves Original and Moves FIT ranges, you can serve both traditional rehabilitation professionals and younger, more trend-conscious fitness clients, all while boosting your sales potential.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Elongation: what it means &amp; why it matters<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Resistance is not just about colour, it is also about <strong>elongation<\/strong>. This refers to how far a band can be stretched from its resting length. <strong>Moves bands<\/strong> are designed with exceptional elasticity. They can be stretched up to <strong>300%<\/strong> of their resting length, and <strong>Moves loops <\/strong>go even further, up to <strong>400%<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Here is how to interpret elongation percentages:<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 50% elongation<\/strong> = 1.5 \u00d7 the original length<br \/>\n<strong>\u2022 100% elongation<\/strong> = 2 \u00d7 the original length<br \/>\n\u2022 <strong>150% elongation<\/strong> = 2.5 \u00d7 the original length<br \/>\n\u2022 <strong>300% elongation<\/strong> = 4 \u00d7 the original length<br \/>\n\u2022 <strong>400% elongation<\/strong> = 5 \u00d7 the original length<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This wide range allows for an incredible variety of exercises. From gentle rehab to full-body strength training, the possibilities are endless.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to read our resistance tables<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In our catalogue, you will find <strong>detailed resistance tables<\/strong> for every product. These tables indicate how many <strong>kilograms of resistance<\/strong> are generated at each elongation level. This is a critical tool when prescribing exercises with precision.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For example:<br \/>\nA red Moves band provides <strong>1,8 kg of resistance at 100% elongation<\/strong>. This means that when you stretch the band to twice its original length, the force needed to hold or continue stretching it equals 1,8 kilograms.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-2088\" src=\"https:\/\/mvs-in-motion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/how-to-read-kgs-per-elongation-1024x541.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mvs-in-motion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/how-to-read-kgs-per-elongation-1024x541.png 1024w, https:\/\/mvs-in-motion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/how-to-read-kgs-per-elongation-300x158.png 300w, https:\/\/mvs-in-motion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/how-to-read-kgs-per-elongation-768x406.png 768w, https:\/\/mvs-in-motion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/how-to-read-kgs-per-elongation-18x10.png 18w, https:\/\/mvs-in-motion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/how-to-read-kgs-per-elongation.png 1378w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Every band and every resistance level will differ, so always consult the table corresponding to the product you are using to ensure accurate programming and progress tracking.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>\ud83d\udca1 Need assistance?
