Study Summary
The purpose of the study is to investigate whether long-term heat therapy (i.e. 8 weeks of hot tub 4-5x per week) improves biomarkers of cardiovascular health in young, healthy, able-bodied individuals. Although exercise is a potent means of improving cardiovascular health, many patients are unable to exercise effectively, and thus there is high demand for novel therapies to better manage cardiovascular risk in these patients. If successful, this study will set the groundwork for heat therapy to be used as an alternative treatment in patients who have limited exercise capabilities for the prevention of cardiovascular disease.
Interventions
- OTHER Heat therapy
- OTHER Thermoneutral water immersion
