"Everyone knows that Flex Bands increase leg strength tremendously. Everyone understands the concept that foot quickness
and lateral movement are greatly enhanced with the use of Flex Bands, what many don't realize is how much self-image and self-
concept contribute to success in competition. When our young people use Flex Bands, they feel good about themselves. They
know that they are going to have the lower body strength, quickness, and agility to compete with anyone in the country. I believe
you have to keep that in mind when you look at the Flex Band."
"We have used Flex Bands for six years in our strength program, and for the 1994 season, we included the new Flex Band
stretching and flexibility program in our workouts. Our people stretch prior to practice, prior to workouts, and prior to games. We
believe so strongly in this stretching program that we have eliminated all other stretching routines from our program. This
program is extremely effective. It also helps us utilize our time efficiently."
"If you have an opportunity to look at the facilities at Youngstown State University in the strength and conditioning area you will
find that we are well-equipped, but one thing that makes it complete is the use of Flex Bands. In fact, our greatest growth in the
future will be in the area of Flex Band enhancement, as we are currently expanding our number of Flex Band Stations. We feel
that our strength program will make maximum contribution as long as it always includes THE FLEX BAND!"

"While at the College level we used many different stretching routines and devices in our strength and conditioning program.
Even though we were able to achieve increases in our flexibility, we were limited in a lot of areas we needed to increase. This Off-
Season, The Denver Broncos have started using the Flex Band by Jump Stretch and we can see and feel the results in only two
weeks. The players like using the Flex Band because they know they are getting the results they want and need in a shorter
amount of time."
"Also, the Flex Band allows us to passive stretch (controlled elongation of the relaxed muscle) without much effort or active
stretch (muscle action during the movement) the muscle is contracted eccentrically."
Sincerely,
Rich Tuten

"We experienced a period during our '96 season when our hamstring and lower extremity muscle strains began to increase. We
addressed the issue by introducing the Jump Stretch continuous stretch bands and Dick Hartzell's lower extremity, stretching
program into our major league team's daily stretching warm-up routine. The results were quite impressive. Our incidence of
lower extremity strains decreased dramatically…. This year the Jump Stretch Flexibility program will be instituted organization-
wide, throughout our minor league system."

"We did some testing with our players and used the Flex Bands every day in our flexibility program, and found that we averaged
anywhere between a half-inch to an inch-and-a-half improvement in flexibility just during spring training. That sold us right there,
and as the guys got into the routine, we got positive feedback from them."
