Alpine Academy, a program that supports young drivers to develop their career, uses the Hytro BFR wearables in both training and recovery to improve performance.
Alpine Academy is a program with a mission, their hope is to develop one of the young driver athletes into a Formula 1 champion. They have been utilising the Hytro BFR wearables during the athlete drivers’ training and also during their recovery sessions, finding them a quick and effective way to incorporate BFR into their programming.
David Thompson, Head of Human Performance at BWT Alpine F1 Team said: “Everyone knows the demands on the F1 circuit – especially the next generation of drivers. Having a product like Hytro that can deliver the physiological benefits of Blood Flow Restriction in an accessible and safe way is hugely beneficial to our driver athletes. We are already seeing performance benefits from training and recovery using Hytro garments, and we look forward to converting these in to results on track.”

Aaron Borgmann, leading Physical Therapist and Athletic Trainer in the US, joins Tom Atkinson of Hytro BFR to talk about working in the NFL, translating those practices to his own rehab business, and how BFR has played a game-changing part in his treatment of athletes and patients.
Mitch Cholewinski, Coordinator of Football Sports Science at the University of Nebraska Football, has recently introduced squad-wide BFR via the Hytro BFR wearables. We caught up with him to understand why recovery is so important in American football, and how periodising recovery can support players to hit the highest levels.
Whilst the driver might be the face of a Formula 1 team, we previously learned from Bradley Scanes – Max Verstappen’s Human Performance Coach - that it’s very much a team sport with high demands on all involved. Bradley recently joined us for an update on the season, how that team effort leads to success, and how Max’s weekly use of BFR is playing its part in this exhilarating championship.
