Why the study?
Does walking with blood flow restriction (KAATSU) alter blood pressure and heart rate responses compared to walking without restriction in active elderly subjects?
Does walking with blood flow restriction (KAATSU) alter blood pressure and heart rate responses compared to walking without restriction in active elderly subjects?
High occlusive pressure (200 mmHg) during slow walking significantly increases blood pressure and heart rate responses in the elderly compared to walking without restriction.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
High-pressure KAATSU walking was associated with elevated BP in active elderly; leaves open safe BFR pressures and warrants prospective trials before practice change.
Sakamaki et al. (2008) studied this question.
