Saunas have been a hot health topic for decades now, with a bucket load of claimed benefits ranging from improving skin, sleep and general relaxation. Research on athletes shows that the adaptations from sweating are even sweeter for endurance performance than The most significant impact of saunas for athletes is the increased oxygen delivery to working muscles. There are two key components of blood most important for this job: red blood cells (RBCs) and blood plasma. You can think of a blood vessel from the heart to the muscles as a freeway from a city towards towns. In order to move more people (oxygen) you can either put more cars (RBCs) on the road or build more The sweating that occurs in a sauna results in substantial dehydration which ramps up the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system which leads to an increase in blood plasma, more lanes on the freeway. Repeat sauna sections can increase plasma Not only can saunas help aid in the transport of RBCs but they may also result in more RBCs being produced, more cars on the road. The increase in plasma results in hemodilution (aka thinner blood) which can lead to a natural secretion of erythropoietin (EPO) rate at a given power output for cyclists. More cars on the road and more lanes to move those cars means a lot of people can leave the city, a lot more oxygen is reaching the muscles. This is shown in athlete studies by increased VO2max and even time trial performance after pas*ive heat acclimation. Outside of the blood vessels, repeat exposure to pas*ive heat stress also provides more widespread physiological benefits favourite kind of HSP) which can upregulate circulating factors, increasing cellular protection and triggering the release of human millennium understands a natural means of boosting EPO and growth hormone release is going to make more than just your arm strong.
