Summary

This study aims to determine the effects of 8-10 weeks of repeated hot water immersion ("heat therapy") vs. thermoneutral water immersion on vascular function in late middle-aged to older (55-79 years) adults.

Conditions

  • Aging

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Heat therapy

30 sessions (3-4x per week for 8-10 weeks) of hot water immersion in 40°C water, sufficient to raise body core temperature to 38.5°C.

BEHAVIORAL

Thermoneutral water immersion

30 sessions (3-4x per week for 8-10 weeks) of hot water immersion in 36°C water to prevent changes in body core temperature \>0.2°C.
