Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Ageing is associated with cognitive decline and increased risk of developing neurodegenerative disease. Repeated passive heating, using hot water immersion (HWI), may improve cognitive performance via improved cerebral oxygenation, but this is yet to be examined in older adults.

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Ageing leads to an increased prevalence of sarcopenia and frailty, characterised by progressive declines in muscle strength, power and function and reduced physical activity. Hot water immersion (HWI) could potentially improve muscle function, but this is yet to be explored in older adults.

The Effect of Acute and Prolonged Cooling and Heating on Muscle Force and Recovery
Baltic Journal of Sport and Health SciencesBackground: It has been observed that temperature manipulation has different effect on skeletal muscle function. We hypothesise that both acute and prolonged heating will reduce muscle force more than cooling and recovery will be slower in the heating.

Acute hot‐water immersion augments the diastolic blood pressure nocturnal dip in healthy adults
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Hot‐water immersion (HWI) has been shown to reduce 24 h ambulatory systolic blood pressure in hypertensive adults and might represent a preventative strategy for maintaining cardiovascular health in normotensive adults. The purpose of this study was to determine the time course of post‐HWI hypotension and test the hypothesis that a single HWI ...

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Passive heat therapy can improve cardiometabolic health outcomes in some clinical populations, making it a potential therapeutic tool for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI), who exhibit elevated cardiometabolic disease risk and face barriers to physical activity.

Advances in Climate Change Research, 2020 Haze episodes become very frequent in Beijing over the past decade, and such trend is related to favorable weather conditions. Here, we project the changes of weather conditions conducive to winter haze episodes in Beijing by 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C global ...

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract High‐altitude exposure increases haemoglobin mass (Hbmass), a key determinant of arterial oxygen‐carrying capacity, but following descent this adaptation can regress toward baseline within 7 days. Long‐term heat acclimation has emerged as an alternative stimulus for Hbmass expansion; however, whether post‐altitude passive‐heat exposure can ...

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Figure Legend Endurance‐trained runners completed a 5‐week hot‐water‐immersion (HWI) intervention (≥40°C, 45 min, five sessions per week) and a training‐matched control period in a cross‐over design. HWI induced a 33 g increase in haemoglobin mass (Hbmass) and a 10 mL expansion in left‐ventricular end‐diastolic volume (LVEDV), resulting in a 2.

Water Alternatives, 2021 Despite South Africa’s modern water legislation and commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals, over three million South Africans, most of whom live in rural areas, still lack access to a basic supply of safe drinking water. This case study examines
