Physiological mechanisms of heat exposure may mimic aspects of moderate-intensity cardiovascular exercise, thereby improving cardiovascular and brain health.

“I do think that the physiological mechanisms um are somewhat in many in in some ways mimicking some aspects of moderate intensity cardiovascular exercise and that is how it is improving cardiovascular health and also a an aspect of that brain health.”

“Yeah, I I am still a huge proponent of using deliberate heat exposure to improve your health both cardiovascular and brain.”

“I do think that the physiological mechanisms um are somewhat in many in in some ways mimicking some aspects of moderate intensity cardiovascular exercise and that is how it is improving cardiovascular health and also a an aspect of that brain health um cardiorespiratory fitness that's been shown there's been not only like observational data but there's been intervention studies looking at endurance getting someone on a stationary cycle and then adding the sauna on top of that and V2 max improvements were greater in individuals that are also doing the sauna right after their training.”
