How Hytro fits your week.

Athletes and coaches need more than world-class BFR products - they need clarity, confidence and consistency. Evidence-based protocols, mapped to your programming, that make BFR simple and repeatable for anyone, anywhere.

One product, programmed across the microcycle.

An illustrative example week - not a prescription - showing where Preparation, Training and Recovery BFR can slot into existing sessions with no extra sessions and no supervision burden. Toggle the phase to see the emphasis shift.

Example week only. This is an illustration of how the protocols can slot into a schedule - not a validated or prescriptive programme. Real programming varies by sport, squad, fixture congestion and training phase; your performance staff set the actual plan.

The protocol library.

Eight evidence-based protocol families - performance, recovery and return-to-play - each a step-by-step structure your staff can hand straight to athletes.

Pre-Activation protocol card
Preparation

Pre-Activation

Activate key muscle groups, increase blood flow and improve readiness before training or competition - sharper activation and better joint mobility, without adding fatigue.

Active Recovery protocol card
Recovery

Active Recovery

Low-load activity with BFR to accelerate recovery, reduce soreness and maintain adaptations between demanding sessions - key in congested weeks and tournaments.

Passive Recovery protocol card
Recovery

Passive Recovery

No movement required. Applying BFR passively stimulates blood flow and recovery markers - for athletes in transit, managing volume, or returning from knocks.

Cold Water Immersion protocol card
Recovery

Cold Water Immersion

BFR combined with hydrotherapy: 10% faster recovery, 12% less soreness, 14% less joint pain and 23% more energy than the ice bath alone.

Strength protocol card
Training

Strength

Hypertrophy and force development at lower loads - reduced joint stress, maximised activation, effective standalone or alongside existing programmes.

Hypertrophy protocol card
Training

Hypertrophy

The anabolic response of heavy lifting without the joint stress or recovery cost - trusted across elite sport in-season, post-injury or as a complement.

Power protocol card
Training

Power

Fast-twitch recruitment and rapid force development at reduced loads - sharpening sprint, jump and change-of-direction while limiting fatigue.

Muscular Endurance protocol card
Training

Muscular Endurance

A higher training stimulus at lower absolute intensity - building VO₂ max, muscular endurance and repeat-effort capacity with less wear and tear.

Strap in. Four steps, seconds per athlete.

The application standard your whole squad can follow - no calibration, no consoles.

01

Ensure the BFR strap is at the very top of your limb, and pull the strap out to its full length.

02

Ease back to the required setting based on the protocol for your BFR goal.

03

Firmly rub the Hytro tab to ensure the Velcro mechanism is engaged.

04

Repeat on the other limb. Note your strap setting using the numbering on the sleeve.

Frameworks, ready to run.

Downloadable protocol documents built for performance staff - pin them to the physio-room wall or drop them into your AMS.

The Weekly Integration Framework

Microcycle templates for match week, pre-season and tournament congestion - where BFR slots in, session by session.

The Protocol Cards

All eight protocol families as printable cards: setting, duration, structure and coaching notes for each.

Return-to-Play Guidance

Practical low-load protocols for safe rehab integration - preserving muscle when the limb can't be loaded.
