What is Kaatsu Cycle® Training?
This is a training method that uses the safe and secure FDA-approved Kaatsu Cycle® function to appropriately restrict blood flow. By gradually increasing pressure and repeatedly applying and decompressing pressure, various effects can be expected in a short period of time with light loads, such as increased secretion of growth hormone. Using specialized Kaatsu equipment, appropriate pressure is applied to the base of the arms (base of the biceps) and the base of the legs (base of the thighs) to perform training and exercises tailored to each individual's goals.
*What is the US FDA? (Food and Drug Administration) A government agency in the United States that approves and regulates the safety of medical devices.
Kaatsu Cycle® training involves moderate blood flow restriction, which generates more lactic acid than high-intensity training, even with light loads, resulting in greater secretion of growth hormone. Growth hormone is carried by the bloodstream and acts throughout the body, breaking down fat and building muscle throughout the body, not just in the arms and legs where blood flow is restricted. Secretion peaks approximately 15 minutes after Kaatsu training, and the early secretion of growth hormone allows for significant results in a short period of time. This growth hormone secretion is greater than without Kaatsu.
