Gustavo Vaz Tostes, CrossFit expert and Head of Training at WIT Fitness in London, speaks to the Red Bulletin about Blood Flow Restriction and how he utilises it to boost his training.
Gustavo Vaz Tostes explains how BFR Training has helped him make his workouts smarter, speeds up his recovery between training days and how safe and easy Hytro BFR wearables are to use.
When Vaz Tostes had less time to train, he looked for an answer and found Blood Flow Restriction Training to be a more effective way to train. To do this with minimal effort he utilised the Hytro BFR Tee and Shorts as they have “adjustable straps in the upper arms and legs, allowing wearers to safely administer the correct pressure at home or in the gym”.
Not only does Vaz Tostes use Hytro BFR wearables when training, but recognises the power of Passive BFR for recovery. He said “Applying pressure then reducing it speeds up recovery between workouts” and shared that “you can just sit watching the TV with the shorts on”.
Hytro, the first Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) wearable designed specifically to improve sports performance, has extended its presence within professional sport following the announcement of a partnership with Rehab 4 Performance (R4P) the world class Physiotherapy, Sports Injury, Rehabilitation and Performance Centre specialising in dealing with professional athletes.
Hytro are delighted to announce a new research project between Dr Warren Bradley, co-founder of Hytro, Dr James Morehen, author of The Performance Nutritionist, and Premiership Rugby side Bristol Bears.
Together, they will use Hytro BFR to carry out the first practical BFR study that’s ever been done in professional sport.
With the rugby union season well under way, players and teams are focused on maximising training efficiency to best prepare for winning games. We caught up with Head of Athletic Performance at Newcastle Falcons, Kevin McShane, to learn how his players prepared for the season ahead.
