Purpose: In recent years, there has been increasing interest in using blood flow-restricted exercise (BFRE) or KAATSU training. The KAATSU training method, which partially restricts arterial inflow and fully restricts venous outflow in the working musculature during exercise at reduced exercise intensities, has been proven to result in substantial increases in both muscle hypertrophy and strength. The purpose of this study was to investigate the proper level of pressure for KAATSU training using compound muscle action potential (CMAP) analysis. Methods: Twenty-two healthy adults voluntarily participated in this study. CMAP was conducted by measuring the terminal latency and amplitude using a motor nerve conduction velocity test. For reference-line, supramaximal electrical stimulation was applied to the median nerves of the participants to obtain CMAP for the abductor pollicis brevis. For baseline, the intensity of the electrical stimulation was decreased to a level at which the CMAP amplitude was about a third of the CMAP amplitude obtained by the supramaximal electrical stimulation. The pressure levels for the KAATSU were set as a systolic blood pressure (strong pressure), the median values of systolic and diastolic blood pressure (intermediate pressure), and diastolic blood pressure (weak pressure). In the KAATSU condition, CMAP was performed under the same conditions as baseline after low-intensity thumb abduction exercises were performed at the subjects' own pace for one minute. Results: As the pressure increased, the CMAP amplitude was significantly increased, signifying that more muscle fibers were recruited. Conclusion: This study found that KAATSU training recruited more muscle fibers than low-intensity exercise without the restriction of blood flow.

본 연구는 노인여성들을 대상으로 현미덤벨 운동시 가압처치와 비가압처치를 하였을 때 신체구성, 체력과 동적 및 정적 평형성에 어떠한 융합적인 영향이 있는가를 규명하는데 목적이 있다. 이 연구결과, 덤벨운동트레이닝 후 체중에서는 집단간에 차이가 없었고, 체지방율은 집단간에 차이가 없었으나 시기간에는 유의한 차이가 있었다(P<.001). 제지방 체중과 BMI에서는 집단간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 체력요인에서는 좌측 악력이 집단간에 유의한 차이를 보였다(P<.05). 근지구력에서는 집단간에 유의한 차이가 있었고(P<.05), 유연성과 민첩성에서는 시기간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타났다(P<.001). 그리고 현미덤벨 운동트레이닝 후 동 정적평형성에서는 10m 구간걷기와 2.44m 왕복걷기시 집단간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타났다(각각 P<.001, P<.05).

본 연구의 목적은 혈류조절 가압운동에 참여한 환자들을 대상으로 헬스케어 증진을 위한 임상적 효과를 알아보고자 문헌들을 분석, 고찰하여 다양한 질환의 재활모델로 모색하는 데 그 목적을 두고 있다. 혈류조절, 혈류제한, 저강도 운동, KAATSU 등의 단어를 사용하여 2010년부터 2019년 10년간 연구된 국내학술 저널에 출간된 것을 바탕으로 문헌 연구를 실시하였다. 혈류조절 가압운동은 1966년 일본의 요사야키 사토 박사가 개발한 운동법으로 혈류조절 밴드를 활용해 운동을 실시하여 성장호르몬 분비를 증가시켜 단시간 내 근육을 발달시키고 혈액순환 및 신진대사를 개선하여 성인병 예방 및 개선, 재활기간 단축 및 심혈관계 기능을 증진 시키는 효율적이고 효과적인 운동법이다. 질환자를 대상으로 한 연구는 총 10편으로 노인 4편, 비만 4편, 뇌졸중 1편, 외상성 수부환자 1명이었다. 본 연구의 결과는 저강도 운동으로 고강도 운동의 효과를 얻을 수 있어 일반적인 운동이 어려운 고령자, 청소년 및 부상환자의 근육 발달 및 재활에 매우 효율적인 운동법이란 근거를 지지할 수 있다. 추후 연구에서는 혈류조절 부위에 따른 효과성 검증과 질환에 따른 고찰 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Objectives: Exercise with partially restricted blood flow is a low-load, low-intensity resistance training regimen which may have the potential to increase muscle strength in the obese, elderly and frail who are unable to do high-load training. Restricted blood flow exercise has also been shown to affect blood vessel function variably and can, therefore, contribute to blood vessel dysfunction. This pilot study tests the hypothesis that unilateral resistance training of the leg extensors with partially restricted blood flow increases muscle strength and decreases vascular autoregulation. Methods: The subjects were nine normotensive, overweight, young adult African-Americans with low cardiorespiratory fitness who underwent unilateral training of the quadriceps' femoris muscles with partially restricted blood flow at 30% of the 1-repetition maximum (1-RM) load for 3 weeks. The 1-RM load and post-occlusion blood flow to the lower leg (calf) were measured during reactive hyperemia. Results: The 1-RM load increased in the trained legs from $77{\pm}3$ to $84{\pm}4 kg$ (P < 0.05) in the absence of a significant effect on the 1-RM load in the contralateral untrained legs (P > 0.1). Post-occlusion blood flow decreased significantly in the trained legs from $19{\pm}2$ to $13{\pm}2mL{\cdot}min^{-1}{\cdot}dL^{-1}$ (P < 0.05) and marginally in the contralateral untrained legs from $18{\pm}2$ to $16{\pm}1mL{\cdot}min^{-1}{\cdot}dL^{-1}$ (P = 0.09). Changes in post-occlusion blood flow to the skin overlying the trained and the contralateral untrained muscles were not significant. Conclusion: These results demonstrate that restricted blood flow exercise, which results in significant gains in muscle strength, may produce decrements in endothelial dysfunction and vascular autoregulation. Future studies should determine whether pharmacopuncture plays a role in treatments for such blood vessel dysfunction.
