Abstract Recent studies have focused on the potential benefits of heat exposure for cardiovascular health. However, the acute effects of heat therapy on conduit arteries remain unclear, particularly in overweight and obese older males and females. This study aimed to compare core temperature (Tc), heart rate (HR), and brachial, femoral, and carotid ...

Abstract Creatine monohydrate (CrM) supplementation has established benefits in exercising populations; however, its efficacy during disuse and subsequent rehabilitation remains unclear. This systematic review assessed the effects of CrM supplementation on muscle size, lean mass and muscle performance (strength, power, endurance) during periods of ...

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 ...

Abstract Recent studies suggest that heat exposure may benefit cardiovascular health, but in overweight and obese older adults, the chronic effects of heat therapy on artery function are still uncertain. We aimed to compare the effects of 12 weeks (3×/week, 40 min) of aerobic exercise (EXE) to hot water immersion (HWI) and an inactive control group ...
