KAATSU, which is a Japanese term meaning “added pressure” is a type of training that involves performing low weight resistance exercises while an externally-applied compression on the arms or legs safely restricts blood flow to an activated muscle group.
KAATSU is a device with a small digital compressor with thin air tubes that attach to flexible bands that are placed in a specific area either on your arms or your legs.
These bands inflate and deflate in a sequence based on algorithms that the inventor found boosts circulation, improves hormonal balance and helps people develop muscle tone in a fast and relatively easy way. 1
