No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study will explore the effects of 8 weeks of local leg heat therapy, exercise training, or both on measures of vascular function, cardiorespiratory fitness, and muscle strength in young, healthy individuals. Participants will be allocated into either a control group that will maintain their regular physical activity habits; or into one of three training groups: heat therapy will involve lower limb warm water immersion, exercise training will involve moderate-intensity cycling, and combined training will involve both performed in sequential order.
