ARE resistance bands effective way to strength train?!
Question: The short answer is, 'yes'.
Virtually anything can be an effective device for strength training if it can generate enough load to fatique the worked muscles. Generally, you need to work between 60 and 100% of your single repetition maximum. If you can achieve that much resistance with a spring or elastic band, it will work great. Your muscles only know how much load they are under, not how that load was generated.
Gyms and physical therapy departments often rely on both elastic and gravity powered resistance devices.
