Kaatsu training has long been used in the martial arts training to improve speed and explosiveness. I think anyone on the team that wants to get faster should use this training (cough...Joe Ingles...cough).
After the 2 minute mark this talks about Kaatsu traing improving explosiveness - twitch muscles.
Here is a football player becoming more explosive because of Kaatsu training.
The downside I assume is that this puts more pressure on the joints since your muscles get stronger but you not strengthening your tendons, but hey what do I know.
