Jon limbers up with the resistance bands at Highball Climbing Centre in Norwich to discuss elastic potential energy.

This video explores how elastic bands store energy through stretching, demonstrating how different thicknesses require varying amounts of force and work to stretch. It highlights how athletes can utilise resistance bands to enhance strength, flexibility, and stability, with real-world examples of measuring force and deformation. Understanding the relationship between force, elastic potential energy, and spring constants can optimise training strategies for sports development.
