Sponsor's own description

Sauna bathing has been associated with a lower risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes, improved vascular endothelial and cardiac function, reduced oxidative stress and lower blood pressure. Earlier studies conducted by the investigators have showed positive alterations of arterial stiffness and hemodynamics through sauna bathing. Some studies have sought to utilize sauna bathing as an intervention after exercise with promising and synergistic results, although the effects on populations with cardiovascular risk factors are less clear. Furthermore, studies investigating the use of both exercise and sauna bathing in combination has been somewhat limited. However, results from some studies speculate that adjunctive exercise and sauna interventions may be useful for aging and clinical patient population groups. Given that heat therapy and sauna use is gaining more worldwide popularity, the investigators sought to compare the acute hemodynamic effects between sauna use alone and a short bout of exercise followed by sauna exposure. It was hypothesize that the combination of exercise and sauna will elicit greater changes than sauna alone. To achieve this, we standardized the protocol duration (30 minutes).
