The present invention provides for an improved exercise resistance system to conduct numerous total body exercises. An adjustable elastic resistance cord or flat band may be combined with weights, or each type of resistance may be used alone, in order to vary the means of creating resistance during exercise. The length of the elastic resistance cord or flat band may be adjusted by means of a slip free, length quick adjustment device. The elastic resistance cord or flat band may be passed through the length quick adjustment device which may be secured at various points along the length of the elastic resistance cord or flat band, to change its effective usable length and thus change the level of strength, and range of motion. The length quick adjustment device may be secured by pulling an elastic resistance cord or flat band in one direction, and released by pulling the elastic resistance cord or flat band in the opposite direction.One end of the elastic resistance cord or flat band is attached to any hand engagement structure, preferably a cord handle / grip, a dumbbell handle / grip, a bar, or a glove. The other end of the elastic resistance cord or flat band is secured to any anchor structure, preferably a movable structure, such as a flat board, pad, aerobic step, workout bench, or TV interactive exercise structure.

An adjustable vascular compression device assists in achieving partial or full occlusion of a blood vessel when applied to a patient's limb, for example, during or following a medical procedure. Pads on the device apply preferential compression to portions of the circumference of the limb so as to enable blood flow through adjacent blood vessels during the compression period. Further, rapid fastening, tightening, loosening and release is enabled by a single mechanism, and gradual adjustments to the tightness may be made without releasing said mechanism.
