Power Bands?

      Personally I've seen these everywhere and always thought," how silly is that"? About 1 week or so ago I went to a store and saw that they had them. I read some of the signs and one said" ask me to give you the test!" so I went ahead and did it. They  had me stand on one foot and they tried to get me off balance, they did then they gave me the power band and did it. I AM 95% POSITIVE THAT THEY DID NOT TRY AS HARD THAT TIME! Now that my burst of rage is over I'll continue. Next they kind of thumb wrestled me and they won because they leaned thier body weight on me. Yup I won't mess up the page with more caps, but I really don't think they tried as hard. So as you can probably guess by now i do not think these work(AT ALL).

     If the power bands work then people should be more fit when wearing them. If I were to test this I wouldn't do the same thing as the Power Band company does because, well the Power Band company designed it, most likely so that it makes them look good. What I would do is I would ask for the gym class testing scores. I would record the average of the scores of Encore A and the averages of Encore B. Then after a few weeks I would have them do the tests again. Encore B with the bands and Encore A without. If the second score for Encore B were significantly better I might believe in Power Bands as long as Encore A didn't improve at about the same rate.

      You should always look at all sides of an experiment because if there's an argument chances are that the other side has some pretty good proof. If you don't see what they have to say well you're side of the experiment will probably either look silly or be inconclusive. Plus if you might save yourself some trouble and see that the experiments already been done. So you should ALWAYS research and look at all sides of and experiment/argument.
