Effects of Low-Intensity Cycle Training with Restricted Leg Blood Flow on Thigh Muscle Volume and VO2MAX in Young Men
Takashi Abe,Satoshi Fujita,Toshiaki Nakajima,Mikako Sakamaki,Hayao Ozaki,Riki Ogasawara,Masato Sugaya,Maiko Kudo,Miwa Kurano,Tomohiro Yasuda,Yoshiaki Sato,Hiroshi Ohshima,Chiaki Mukai,Naokata Ishii +13 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that low-intensity, short-duration cycling exercise combined with BFR improves both muscle hypertrophy and aerobic capacity concurrently in young men.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use and safety of KAATSU training:Results of a national survey
Toshiaki Nakajima,Miwa Kurano,Haruko Iida,Haruhito Takano,Hitoshi Oonuma,Toshihiro Morita,Kentaro Meguro,Yoshiaki Sato,Taiji Nagata +8 more
TL;DR: The 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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Venous blood gas and metabolite response to low-intensity muscle contractions with external limb compression.
Tomohiro Yasuda,Takashi Abe,William F. Brechue,Haruko Iida,Haruhito Takano,Kentaro Meguro,Miwa Kurano,Satoshi Fujita,Toshiaki Nakajima +8 more
TL;DR: Changes in venous pH (pH(v), venous carbon dioxide partial pressure (P(v)CO(2), and venous lactate concentration ([L(-)](v)) were greater with EC160 than EC100 and/or control, and it appears plausible that they may be involved in stimulating the observed increase in muscle activation via group III and IV afferents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hemodynamic and neurohumoral responses to the restriction of femoral blood flow by KAATSU in healthy subjects
Haruko Iida,Miwa Kurano,Haruhito Takano,Nami Kubota,Toshihiro Morita,Kentaro Meguro,Yoshiaki Sato,Takashi Abe,Yoshihisa Yamazaki,Kansei Uno,Katsu Takenaka,Ken Hirose,Toshiaki Nakajima +12 more
TL;DR: KAATSU in supine subjects reproduces the effects of standing on HR, SV, TPR, etc., thus stimulating an orthostatic stimulus, and appears to be a useful method for potential countermeasure like LBNP against Orthostatic intolerance after spaceflight.
Journal ArticleDOI
Haemostatic and inflammatory responses to blood flow‐restricted exercise in patients with ischaemic heart disease: a pilot study
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated haemostatic and inflammatory responses to BFR exercise in patients with ischaemic heart disease (IHD), and found that applying BFR during low-intensity resistance exercise does not affect exercise-induced haemopathological responses in stable IHD patients.
