“…KAATSU training has additional effects, such as increasing GH secretion (Takarada et al, 2000a;Takano et al, 2005a, b;Sato et al, 2005). GH enhances lipolysis and bone formation, which may contribute to the reduction of obesity and bone diseases such as osteoporosis (Beekley et al, 2005). It also stimulates the liver to secrete insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) (Abe et al, 2005a), resulting in improvement of function of the endothelial cells and insulin sensitivity.…”

“…Under the conditions of restricted muscle blood flow, even short-term, low-intensity exercise can induce muscle strength, and hypertrophy (Takarada et al, 2000b;Yasuda et al, 2004;Abe et al, 2005a, b). In addition, KAATSU training increases the amount of circulating growth hormone (GH) (Takarada et al, 2000a;Takano et al, 2005a,b;Sato et al, 2005), which may enhance lipolysis and bone formation, resulting in a reduction of obesity and bone diseases as well as improving strength and inducing hypertrophy of muscle (Beekley et al, 2005). Also, GH stimulates the liver to secrete insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) (Abe et al, 2005a), which may improve the function of endothelium and insulin sensitivity.…”

KAATSU training is a novel training, which is performed under conditions of restricted blood flow. It can induce a variety of beneficial effects such as increased muscle strength, and it has been adopted by a number of facilities in recent times. The purpose of the present study is to know the present state of KAATSU training in Japan and examine the incidence of adverse events in the field. The data were obtained from KAATSU leaders or instructors in a total of 105 out of 195 facilities where KAATSU training has been adopted. Based on survey results, 12,642 persons have received KAATSU training (male 45.4%, female 54.6%). KAATSU training has been applied to all generations of people including the young (<20 years old) and the elderly (>80 years old). The most popular purpose of KAATSU training is to strengthen muscle in athletes and to promote the health of subjects, including the elderly. It has been also applied to various kinds of physical conditions, cerebrovascular diseases, orthopedic diseases, obesity, cardiac diseases, neuromuscular diseases, diabetes, hypertension and respiratory diseases. In KAATSU training, various types of exercise modalities (physical exercise, walking, cycling, and weight training) are used. Most facilities have used 5-30 min KAATSU training each time, and performed it 1-3 times a week. Approximately 80% of the facilities are satisfied with the results of KAATSU training with only small numbers of complications reported. The incidence of side effects was as follows; venous thrombus (0.055%), pulmonary embolism (0.008%) and rhabdomyolysis (0.008%). These results indicate that the KAATSU training is a safe and promising method for training athletes and healthy persons, and can also be applied to persons with various physical conditions.

“…Therefore, KAATSU resistance training, even at a low load (20% 1 repetition maximum) may influence bone metabolism by altering vascular endothelial cell function. Blood flow restriction during walk training was associated with significant increases in resting levels of serum BAP (Beekley et al, 2005). However, there is no information to date whether serum markers of bone turnover are affected by KAATSU resistance training.…”

“…KAATSU technique has also been used with different modes of exercise to investigate skeletal muscle adaptation and response. Three weeks of twice-daily walk training combined with vascular restriction (LIWT+R) compared to walking alone (LIWT) resulted in an increase in quadriceps muscle CSA of 5.7% and 1.5%, respectively , 7.5% and -0.6%, respectively [Beekley et al, 2005], and hamstring muscle CSA of 7.6% and -1.7%, respectively .…”

“…A number of studies have demonstrated that low-intensity resistance exercise (i.e., 20% 1-RM) combined with vascular restriction (KAATSU) can elicit increases in muscle size Beekley et al, 2005;Takarada et al, 2002;Takarada et al, 2000a] and strength [Shinohara et al, 1998;Takarada et al, 2002] to a similar or even greater extent then traditional resistance training utilizing intensities greater than the recommended 65% 1-RM threshold [Goto et al, 2005;Goto et al, 2004;McCall et al, 1999]. Although the precise mechanisms underlying these adaptations remain unclear, reducing the relative intensity of resistance training to 20% 1-RM and including vascular restriction would have obvious advantages for individuals who may exhibit limited strength or health-related risks with higher resistance training loads, such as older adults and diseased or injured patients.…”

Skeletal muscle adapts to a progressive overload, but the response can vary between different modes and intensities of exercise. Generally, a minimal threshold intensity of 65% of the one repetition maximum (1-RM) is needed to elicit muscle hypertrophy; however, recent studies have challenged this hypothesis and have provided evidence that low-intensity training (LIT) combined with vascular restriction (KAATSU) may also elicit increases in muscle size and strength. The physiological aspects of applying vascular restriction during exercise are not fully understood and may be explained by several factors. Examining the results of previous studies may help elucidate the factors responsible for the adaptations associated with vascular restriction in humans. Therefore, the objectives of this review are to summarize current knowledge regarding the physiological adaptations of skeletal muscle after low-intensity exercise combined with vascular restriction, the different training protocols used to elicit adaptations, and suggested areas for future research.
