St Helens rugby league club announces Hytro as their official BFR training partner for the 2021 and 2022 seasons.

Using Hytro, the leader in Performance TechWear integrated with blood flow restriction technology, St Helens will integrate Hytro into their training to allow players to increase muscle size and strength and to accelerate their recovery safely and effectively.

Working alongside scientists and fitness experts, Hytro Performance TechWear uses blood flow restriction technology, or BFR, to help athletes drive muscle growth, speed up recovery and hit targets like never before.

Hytro’s patented TechWear packages the remarkable benefits of BFR in safe and easy-to-use garments. The comfortable, high quality TechWear features a quickly deployed in-built strap in the perfect position to ensure a safe and effective workout.

Saints Head of Strength and Conditioning, Matt Daniels is delighted to have secured their support: “As a performance team we are delighted to welcome Hytro on board. We have used BFR (Blood Flow Restriction) training sporadically for a number of years, however methods have made it difficult to employ squad wide. The introduction of the Hytro performance Tech Wear with the incorporated blood flow restriction technology means that we can cater for the full squad in aiding our strength training and just as importantly our recovery, vital for us after games such as the Challenge Cup semi-final last weekend to help us prepare for our next game.”

We are delighted to announce our partnership with @Saints1890 🎉🏉
