It is well known that knee meniscectomy is one of the major knee surgeries, which induces thigh muscle atrophy (Akima and Furukawa, 2005; Ericsson et al., 2006). In general, traditional high-intensity exercise training (≥ 70% 1-repetition maximum: 1RM) improves skeletal muscle morphology and function (ACSM, 2009), but it appears that this method is not practical and may even be dangerous in patients with knee meniscectomy. On the other hand, KAATSU training (≤ 30% 1RM) can produce muscle hypertrophy and does not decrease vascular function (Ozaki et al., 2013; Yasuda et al., 2015; Yasuda et al., 2016). Additionally, recent studies (Nakajima et al., 2015; Hiraizumi et al., 2016) reported that KAATSU training is quite useful as a rehabilitation method in disorder of bone (femoral head avascular necrosis, femoral medial condyle osteonecrosis). However, it is unclear whether thigh muscle size after knee meniscectomy can be improved with KAATSU training. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine effect of KAATSU training on thigh muscle size and safety for a patient with knee meniscectomy.
