Would these 10 inch bands be adequate (long enough) for a female to use in front of chest - stretching them like one would use springs?

I'm not familiar with the exercise you're describing but if I wrap the two ends of the light band around each hand in front of me it only stretches about 16 inches apart. Hope this helps.

I believe they would last until the elasticity in the band becomes too weak to apply enough pressure. I have not had any wear out yet.

The chest band is adjustable so it should work for most people, I hope this is helpful.

They're very flexible. I think they might work well for you because I just get a gentle stretch - I wish they were bigger or firmer so I'd get a better stretch but they're fine.

Fine, I'm 5'9" 205 - not fat, muscular - and they work well for me. They are bands and will probably need replacement at some time, but I use them regularly and show no wear or fatigue.

I believe that there is enough stretch with the band fully extended (adjusted). I don't think you will have a problem.

It depends, the heavy one could work for you, I used to put 110 lbs resistance in the abductor machine and I feel great with this bands. But maybe you are looking for something more challenging, if it so go for the x-heavy and xx-heavy set :)

I think so, if you have a medium build. I don't think the elastic is too strong to prevent that. They're lightweight, so they shouldn't bind too much either. All the best to you!

Yes, they stretch very well. You will occasionalyy come across one that is broke or has a thin spot.

These are more for lifting weights so i recommend not, but instead use a wrist band or tape. I breakdance but wrist supports aren't very helpful, its best to just stretch the wrists before doing them.

Hello -- we've had some petite adults say they were ok for them, but as we know everyone is a different size. I'll address this more fully in your email to us, but one quick fix might be to stretch them about a bit (the metal band is flexible). We have a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee so we'll work something out with you of course. Thank you.

With the hand straps attached the bands are 5 feet long. So you can use it by one end in each hand and use your foot as the attachment point, meaning the band goes under your foot and your stretch the ends with your hands. This is pretty common and will work fine for you. You can also use them by attaching one end to something stationary that will hold the force you apply to it. I use mine by attaching one end to my very heavy elliptical machine. To get more resistance just add more bands together. Hope this helps.

These will stretch up to 10 cm without any problem and if they stay stretched for a long period it will stay deformes.

From a "functional" perspective, I would say that they can be worn everyday without stretching out -I wear mine usually over night several times per week for recovery and they've kept their shape and elasticity well. I can't speak to whether this is medically appropriate however since these are designed for fitness use, rather than medical use -I would recommend talking with your doctor if you have concerns in this area.

yes - i use them for that also! added bonus use of the straps - my trainer showed me how to use this and since there are three different bands - you can work up to the thickest band for more resistance.

I think it would have plenty of support, but if they are too tight I find they cut circulation off to your hands. I use them for heavy dumbells and unwrap them when I am done a set for that reason. You may consider the shorter ones which would not be as tight

They would, but they're a bit on the bulky side and your wrists would get sweaty. Plus for good support you have to wrap these tight and that's not comfortable for long periods of time. I'd personally recommend tape for biking.
