Blood flow restriction training, also called occlusion training or KAATSU, is an exercise and rehabilitation method in which resistance exercise, aerobic exercise or physical therapy movements are performed while an occlusion cuff is applied to the upper part of a limb. Developed in Japan by Dr. Yoshiaki Sato in 1966, the cuff restricts venous outflow from the muscle while partially restricting arterial inflow, allowing light loads to provide a strengthening stimulus without the joint stress and cardiovascular risk associated with heavy-load training.
