Summary

The study aims to investigate the effects of including regular heat therapy when included to exercise. Specifically, participants in the sauna intervention group will undergo 15 minutes of sauna exposure immediately after a 50-minute session of exercise, 3 times a week, while participants in the exercise intervention group will follow only the same exercise protocol.

The 50-minute exercise session consists of 20 minutes of moderate intensity strength exercise, followed by 30 minutes of moderate-vigorous aerobic exercise on stationary bikes. This exercise intervention protocol was selected in order to meet and adhere to the recommended physical activity guidelines.
