Hytro Partners with Serbian Handball Federation to Elevate Performance and Recovery

January 7, 2026, UK: Hytro has announced a new partnership with the Serbian Handball Federation, becoming the federation’s Official Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Partner.
The collaboration will see Hytro’s patented BFR wearables integrated across Serbia’s elite handball programmes, supporting both training and recovery throughout the season. In a sport characterised by high-intensity repeat efforts, rapid accelerations, and heavy contact loads, the partnership provides a practical solution for managing fatigue while maintaining performance standards.

Handball athletes are required to perform repeatedly under congested schedules, often with limited recovery time between sessions and fixtures. By embedding BFR into daily performance routines, the Serbian Handball Federation is able to leverage low-load training methods that stimulate meaningful physiological adaptations while reducing overall mechanical stress. This approach supports strength development, accelerates recovery, and helps maintain athlete availability across the season.

Andrea Lekic, General Manager of the Serbian Handball Federation, commented: “On behalf of the Handball Federation of Serbia, and in my own name as General Manager, I would like to express our great satisfaction with establishing a partnership with Hytro. We fully recognise the exceptional value of integrating your BFR methodology and products into a high-performance team sport environment. The opportunity to apply your science-led, athlete-centred approach is both remarkable and highly beneficial to our programme.

Hytro’s innovative BFR solutions enable us to respond quickly, effectively, and efficiently to the demands of modern training. Your products allow for the safe and consistent application of BFR, making advanced training methods easier to implement while significantly enhancing our athletes’ performance, recovery, and overall capabilities.”

From Hytro’s perspective, the partnership reflects a shared commitment to evidence-based practice and applied performance solutions.

Dr. Warren Bradley, Founder and Head of Elite Performance at Hytro, added: “Partnering with the Serbian Handball Federation allows us to integrate evidence-based BFR protocols into a high-performance environment where every percentage matters. We’re excited to support their athletes in training harder, recovering faster, and staying available throughout the season.”

The Serbian Handball Federation joins a growing list of organisations using Hytro’s wearable BFR technology. Hytro is now trusted by more than 300 elite teams worldwide across  football, rugby, NFL, NBA, athletics, cycling, and motorsport. Beyond elite sport, Hytro wearables are also being tested by NASA and SpaceX as part of research into maintaining muscle and bone health in zero gravity.

As BFR continues to move from theory into daily performance practice, partnerships like this underline the importance of tools that are not only grounded in science but practical enough to be used consistently within elite sporting environments.

This partnership reflects Hytro’s continued focus on working with teams, coaches, and athletes who are actively looking to outperform and push beyond their current standards. By collaborating with programmes that value innovation and are prepared to explore new ways to drive performance and recovery, Hytro continues to build relationships with organisations committed to long-term growth, athlete availability, and gaining an edge where it matters most.
