Summary

The impact of the environment on human health is considerable. An important factor is the effect of temperature on the human body, where either the effects of short-term exposure to extreme temperatures (cryotherapy, sauna, etc.) or the long-term environmental impact are monitored.

The study was focused on research of the long-term effect of repeated CWI on atherogenesis, lipid parameters and fat distribution.

Interventions

OTHER

Cold water immersion

Full body CWI in open standing, except the head (same location, timing), frequency three times a week in the duration of 7-10 minutes. Swimming was permitted. Volunteers must not use neoprene aids (gloves, shoes), caps were allowed. Volunteers should be in the final phase submerged in water, above which there should only be the head and neck. The upper limbs were below the water surface. Non-neoprene footwear was permitted. Volunteers entered the water continuously without stopping. The time of stay in water was calculated from the first contact of the foot with water. On average, the whole body needed to be immersed in water within 30 seconds.
