As a matter of fact, through the app, you can unlock the Normatec 3 boots' full potential by changing pressure and cycle times in each section of the boots (see below).

Through the app, you can update the control unit, initiate and customise your sessions, and more.

#Compression boots normatec Bluetooth#

The boots have built-in Bluetooth receivers and can be connected to the Hyperice app. It allows you to increase the pressure in one of the five areas of the boots, which can help speed up recovery in those areas even more. Speaking of ZoneBoost, it's probably the most significant USP of the system. – the max pressure for non-ZoneBoost areas is 100 mmHg. The lightest setting barely grazes the legs, and even the strongest setting isn't quite as strong as the Recovapro Air's – according to the booklet that came in the box, the max air pressure is 110 mmHg, which is 40 mmHg less than the Recovapro Air's and 10 mmHg more than the Therabody RecoveryAir JetBoots' output.įor the record, this 110 mmHg output is only available in areas where ZoneBoost is activated. The Hyperice Normatec 3 compression boots can provide seven different levels of compression, which can be changed throughout the session.

Thankfully, the Normatec 3 can be paused, and better still, it can also be connected to the power source midway through the session when it runs out of battery juice. The Normatec 3 only massages the limbs one way – there isn't an option to customise which way it inflates, like in the case of the Recovapro Air – just like the Therabody RecoveryAir Jetboots, which makes it more appealing for less experienced (and pro) users.

Once the unit is up and running, you can basically forget about it until the time's up. The simple interface was refreshing to use after the somewhat complicated UI of the Recovapro Air. Controlling the unit is also effortless to operate, thanks to the simple layout, as shown below:įirst, you select which attachment is connected to the unit, then choose power level (1-7), choose whether you want any areas to be 'boosted' (1-5, with 1 being the foot and 5 the upper thigh), select the duration (15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes), and finally, press start. You slip on the sleeves, connect the hose to the control unit, switch it on (the unit), select the required options, and off it goes. The Hyperice Normatec 3 is super easy to use. Hyperice Normatec 3 Legs Review – Ease of use It also helps with lymphatic drainage and decreases pain and soreness, so you never have to let delayed onset muscle soreness (or DOMS for short) 'cramp your style.' If you're interested, you can read more about blood flow restriction training by clicking on the link. If this all sounds mumbo-jumbo, you might be surprised to hear that plenty of research looked at the musculoskeletal benefits of blood flow restriction, and although a lot of research investigated BFR training instead of recovery, BFR offers tangible benefits for recovery, too.Īccording to Hyperice, using the Normatec 3 increases circulation and helps you maintain your full range of motion. This process helps 'flush out' toxins and metabolic waste from your muscles, all the while helping hormones flood the limbs to speed up recovery. Using a compression motor, the Normatec 3 – which is said to be the most tested and scientifically backed dynamic air compression system on the market – pumps air into the sleeves, which compresses the limbs, then quickly releases the tension by deflating them.
