Many researchers between 2000 - 2005 tested KAATSU Walking with MRI-measured muscle size and strength (maximum dynamic or one repetition maximum) and isometric strength along with blood hormonal parameters. Testing was done both on control groups and experimental groups of subjects ranging from young men to older women. The testing was done using 20-minute bouts of treadmill speed of 50 meters per minute.
The researchers found a multitude of benefits and changes among the experimental KAATSU users while there was no change in muscle size and dynamic and isometric strength in the control group: 1. Serum growth hormone was elevated after KAATSU Walking with the experimental group, but not with the non-KAATSU control group. 2. MRI-measured thigh muscle cross-sectional area and muscle volume increased by 4 - 7%. 3. One-repetition maximum and maximum isometric strength increased between 8 - 10%. Furthermore, indicators of muscle damage (creatine kinase and myoglobin) and resting anabolic hormones did not change with both groups. The researchers concluded that KAATSU Walking induces muscle hypertrophy and strength gain despite the minimum level of exercise intensity after 3 weeks, and that KAATSU Walking may be a potentially useful method for promoting muscle hypertrophy for a wide range of the population including the frail and elderly.
As long as your technique and athletic form are correct, athletes and military personnel--and people from all walks of life--can realize benefits with KAATSU by moving more slowly (i.e., walking versus running or swimming at a moderate pace versus swimming at maximum speed, spinning casually versus spinning at high intensity) rather than always going all-out. Perhaps this lowered intensity is appropriate after injuries or immediately after a competition or during a taper phase of training--or even when you only have 10-20 minutes of potential exercise time to sneak into your day. Perhaps this slower pace is simply more appropriate during different parts of any specific workout when an athlete is working on their technique or form.
Fireside Fitness is able to incorporate KAATSU into your training routine according to your needs/goals and even to guide you in how to safely use it on your own. To get the most out of KAATSU, order your own unit so you can take it everywhere you go.
