Biko Sports Bands for Athlete and Working Dogs

The Biko Sports Bands are a new option for integrating resistance training in your athlete and working dog’s conditioning program. The Biko Sports Bands are the “only” resistance training tool now available  for professional- and amateur-handled canines.  More and more veterinary sports medicine practitioners and dog trainers/handlers are using resistance training for strength training and endurance conditioning.  So whether your dog is a professional or amateur athlete or working dog, the Biko Sports Bands offer a significant advantage to your dog’s fitness routines. The Biko Sports Bands are affordable, portable, and decrease the risk of sports related injuries by improving muscle strength.

How the Biko Sports Bands Work 

The Biko Sports Bands run from the dorsal midline D ring of a standard Roman Harness to the tarsal area of the dog’s hind limbs.  As the bands lengthen, the resistance increases, mimicking the dog’s everyday activities and sports-specific activities. The functional movement patterns of the resistance bands aid the canine athlete in developing and maintaining optimum strength and endurance.

The Bands come in three resistance strengths, in a color-coded system of progressive resistance – lime green (light resistance), orange (medium resistance) and royal blue (strong resistance).

The Biko Sports Bands should be part of your athlete and working dog’s conditioning program.

Incorporating Elastic Resistance Training in our Dog’s Condition Program

Just like humans when they start a new exercise regimen, their muscles are engaging in a new form of activity that they have not engaged in previously. For that reason, we recommend starting all athlete and working dogs on the light resistance (lime green) – no matter their current level of conditioning .

How to Incorporate Biko Sports Bands Resistance Training

The Biko Sports Bands are NOT Intended for:

  • Dogs with acute painful conditions
  • Dogs with active lameness of any limb
  • Acute iliopsoas strain (iliopsoas injuries would always be the Biko Progressive Resistance (PR) Bands. The Biko Sports Bands can be used for end-stage strengthening when the injury is completely resolved.)
  • Post-operative recovery/rehabilitation
