Resistance training for bone health: bands vs dumbbells?
From the point of view of exercising to slow or reverse bone loss, can you comment on merits of using resistance bands (where the resistance changes with degree of band-stretching during the movement) vs dumbbells or bodyweight exercises, where the weight is constant throughout?
I’m very happy to have the resistance-band option for convenience and variety; this question is meant to be about what is actually preferable in terms of results, safety, etc. assuming one also has the option of using dumbbells. Thanks!
