4. Using the KAATSU Cycle 2.0 - Six Pre-set KAATSU Pressures

For who? Tactical athletes, physical therapists, KAATSU Specialists
For what? Recovery



The KAATSU Cycle 2.0 has six pre-set pressures for individuals to use.

KAATSU Cycle is a patented, proprietary method where the KAATSU Air Bands repeatedly inflate and deflate 8 times ("repetitions"). The inflation period is 30 seconds and the deflation period is 5 seconds. One complete KAATSU Cycle with 8 repetitions is 4 minutes 40 seconds in duration.

On top of the device, users can select Low, Medium and High levels. On the face of the device, users can either select the G (Group) mode that offers lower pressures) or P (Professional mode that offers high pressures).

The KAATSU Cycle 2.0 uses a combination of G or P pressures at either the Low, Medium or High levels.

So GL means Group Low. GM means Group Medium. GH means Group High. Likewise, PL means Professional Low. PM means Professional Medium. PH means Professional High. Each level offers incrementally higher pressures. KAATSU users should only use the optimal pressures appropriate to them. But everyone should start at the GL level and then increase as they see fit.

In the midst of the KAATSU Cycle, the pressure increases by 10 SKU (Standard KAATSU Unit) in each subsequent repetition. There are 8 repetitions per each Cycle. This gradual increase in pressure is safe and optimal - and leads to a healthful production of metabolites and hormones. The pressures of each of the 8 repetitions are as follows (from lowest to highest):

Group Low SKU pressure: 80 - 90 - 100 - 110 - 120 - 130 - 140 - 150
Group Medium SKU pressure: 130 - 140 - 150 - 160 - 170 - 180 - 190 - 200
Group High SKU pressure: 230 - 240 - 250 - 260 - 270 - 280 - 290 - 300
Professional Low SKU pressure: 180 - 190 - 200 - 210 - 220 - 230 - 240 - 250
Professional Medium SKU pressure: 280 - 290 - 300 - 310 - 320 - 330 - 340 - 350
Professional High SKU pressure: 330 - 340 - 350 - 360 - 370 - 380 - 390 - 400
