Cardiometabolic effects of contrast therapy: A systematic review

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The rising prevalence of overweight and obesity, together with associated cardiometabolic disorders, underscores the need for additional strategies alongside established interventions. The growing popularity of contrast therapy – alternating exposure to heat and cold, a practice common in traditional Finnish sauna bathing – has prompted ...

Thermal and cardiovascular responses to sauna are attenuated by adding cold water immersion to cooling breaks

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The independent effects of different cooling practices, such as cold‐water immersion (CWI), on thermal and cardiovascular responses to sauna remain unclear. This study tested the hypothesis that thermal and cardiovascular responses to sauna are attenuated when CWI was included in a cooling break compared to cooling in air only.

Exercise and physiological monitoring in isolated, confined and extreme environments and space analogues: A scoping review

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract This scoping review synthesized evidence on physical activity/exercise and physiological monitoring in isolated, confined and extreme (ICE) environments, with emphasis on Antarctic missions and space analogues. ICE exposures combine cold stress, confinement, disrupted light–dark cycles and psychosocial strain, which can challenge ...

The cold‐water immersion recovery–adaptation paradox: Reconciling acute parasympathetic and analgesic benefits with chronic hypertrophy attenuation

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cold‐water immersion (CWI) is among the most widely used post‐exercise recovery modalities in elite sport and clinical rehabilitation, yet a fundamental paradox now emerges from the evidence: the same protocols that accelerate parasympathetic reactivation and reduce perceived muscle soreness also suppress the molecular and cellular machinery ...

A 45 min bout of hot‐water immersion induces transient plasma volume contraction without a detectable increase in circulating erythropoietin

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Heat acclimation is increasingly used to induce haematological adaptations and enhance endurance performance. Although repeated hot‐water immersion (HWI) has been shown to increase haemoglobin mass, the acute physiological responses that might underpin these longer‐term adaptations remain poorly understood.

TRPM8 and TRPM2 ion channels determine sex differences in thermal preference in mice

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Too hot or too cold? How do we know? Animals seek a ‘comfort temperature’ in between ‘too hot’ (far left) and ‘too cold’ (far right). In mammals and birds, females (left) prefer warmer temperatures than males (right). We show here that in mice, the comfort temperature is determined by a balance of sensory input (black arrows ...
