Summary

A study to explore whether different temperatures of warm water footbaths have different effects on the cardiovascular system, the autonomic nervous system and the general well-being of healthy women.

Conditions

  • Warm Footbath
  • Cardiovascular System
  • Autonomic Nervous System

Interventions

OTHER

38°C warm water footbath

A ten-minute pre-intervention rest period followed by a 30-minute footbath with 16 l of warm water at a constant temperature of 38°C, followed by a ten-minute post-intervention rest period.

OTHER

40°C warm water footbath

A ten-minute pre-intervention rest period followed by a 30-minute footbath with 16 l of warm water at a constant temperature of 40°C, followed by a ten-minute post-intervention rest period.

OTHER

42°C warm water footbath

A ten-minute pre-intervention rest period followed by a 30-minute footbath with 16 l of warm water at a constant temperature of 42°C, followed by a ten-minute post-intervention rest period.

OTHER

38-42°C rising temperature footbath

A ten-minute pre-intervention rest period followed by a 30-minute footbath with 16 l of warm water. Water temperature starts at 38°C and is increased by 1°C every 6 minutes, resulting in 42°C after 30 minutes. The footbath is followed by a ten-minute post-intervention rest period.
