Sauna Heat Exposure
Sauna heat exposure may support cardiovascular and recovery pathways when practiced regularly—hydrate and pair with sleep, not as a training replacement.
Sauna heat exposure uses dry or infrared heat sessions to trigger cardiovascular and heat-shock responses—linked in observational research to heart health when practiced regularly. Hydrate, limit alcohol, and avoid extreme durations if blood pressure is uncontrolled.
Heat is additive recovery, not a substitute for training or sleep.
