It can help people who cannot do their daily weight training for many reasons, Therefore, if the results obtained from Exercise with elastic bands were close to the results of weight training, When these people are unable to use gyms, we can offer them elastic bands exercises So that they do not fall behind their goal and training plan. Methods: In this study, we selected 24 male students aged 14 to 16 and divided them into two groups of 12. The first group performed resistance exercises with weights and the second group performed the same exercises that were simulated with 5-string CX bands. After the completion of 8 weeks of training, the results obtained from the strength item showed that in the movements of The Neck Lat Pull Down, Machine Shoulder Press, and Biceps Incline Curl, the performance in the weight training group was better than the elastic bands training group. However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in the movement of the chest press. Results: There was a significant difference between the effect of resistance exercises with weights and elastic bands on the endurance of upper body muscles in swimming, sit-ups and bar-fix movements. Conclusion: It means that in these three items, the weight training group performed better than the stretch training group. However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in Plank's movement.
