Overview

Second case of exertional rhabdomyolysis with blood flow-restricted exercise; leaves open questions on incidence and risk factors.

Structured PICO

Does blood flow-restricted (KAATSU) exercise cause exertional rhabdomyolysis?

P
Population
A 20-year-old man
I
Intervention
6 sets of blood flow-restricted exercise (KAATSU exercise), consisting of 3 sets of knee-extension and 3 sets of elbow-flexion exercise
O
Outcome
Exertional rhabdomyolysissafety

Blood flow-restricted (KAATSU) exercise can cause severe exertional rhabdomyolysis, indicating that such protocols should be initiated modestly and progressed gradually.
