Blood Flow Restriction Training for Performance Enhancement and Recovery
Blood flow restriction training has been used for decades to accelerate muscle tissue regeneration and enhance strength without heavy lifting. It involves applying pressure around the upper arms or upper legs to restrict blood flow, leading to metabolic stress and beneficial adaptations. As technology advanced, companies like Hydro simplified this technique by embedding tech into wearables, making it accessible and safe for various applications from rehab to recovery.
