Blood flow resistance training (BFRT) is a type of exercise that involves using elastic bands or occlusion cuffs to partially restrict the flow of blood in the muscles being trained. It is also sometimes referred to as "kaatsu training."

During BFRT, the occlusion cuffs are applied to the upper arms or upper legs, just above the elbow or knee. The cuffs are tightened to a level that partially restricts the flow of blood, but does not completely block it. The individual then performs exercises using lighter weights than they would normally use for traditional strength training.

Proponents of BFRT claim that it can help increase muscle size and strength, improve endurance and cardiovascular fitness, and accelerate muscle recovery. Some studies have shown that BFRT can lead to significant increases in muscle strength and hypertrophy (muscle growth), but more research is needed to fully understand the potential benefits and risks of this training method. It is important to note that BFRT should be performed with caution, as there is a risk of overuse injuries and other negative effects on the body. It is always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional or a certified personal trainer before starting any new exercise program.
