Although Kaatsu training involves low training loads, high perceived exertion and pain scores suggest that potential benefits may be offset by poor adherence or tolerance, particularly if applied in untrained or clinical populations. The purpose of this study was to investigate muscle adaptations, perceived exertion ratings, perceived sensations, and exercise adherence to a modified Kaatsu training protocol involving upper arm exercise.
