“…There are many different forms of passive heat therapy (eg, traditional dry (finish) sauna, repeated hot water immersion, infrared sauna, Waon therapy, and Turkish bath) [1]. Everyone can choose the type of sauna according to their own tastes and medical indications [2]. A sauna is a room inside of which there is a heater, which allows to achieve a dry sauna (Finish also known as Swedish).…”

“…The humidity level is 40-65%. There is a steam generator, which is passed through the herbs or aromatic oils, so that the human body takes an additional inhalation [2]. Turkish bath is based on maintaining the temperature in the range of 40-50°C along with high air humidity.…”

“…This sauna is a great substitute for the traditional sauna due to the shorter time spent in the sauna, lesser influence on the heart rate and blood pressure and also lower costs of the therapy. Due to a different physical mechanism of heating the body, only 20% of the energy is spent on heating the room and as much as 80% on heating the body, which means that a stay in the sauna of 5 to 10 minutes is sufficient [2,5]. This makes the bath better tolerated by the patient and it is often used during the warm-up by athletes.…”

Introduction: Sauna bathing as a health-promoting activity has been known to mankind for millennia. Sauna session, which consists of alternate overheating and then rapidly cooling the body, has a beneficial effect on the health of the body confirmed by scientific research. In the last few decades, sauna bathing has become more available due to the growing market of recreational services such as water parks and sauna parks. Regular use of sauna bathing reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases, musculoskeletal disorders, mental stress, accelerates the process of regeneration after physical exertion, as well as increases resistance to the harmful effects of certain environmental factors. Despite the health benefits known for many years, the physiological mechanisms occurring in the body during sauna sessions still remain unknown. Sauna bathing treatments can be an effective complement to the process of treatment and rehabilitation of patients with cardiovascular diseases, musculoskeletal diseases, respiratory tract diseases, skin diseases and many others. Material and methods: A literature analysis on sauna bathing was carried out within the Pubmed and Google scholar platforms. The following keywords were used in search: sauna bathing, infrared sauna, cardiovascular diseases. Purpose of the work: The aim of the following analysis is to present a historical outline of the use of sauna bathing, the health aspect, risks and the assumptions and indicating an important need for further research into the effects of sauna bathing on the body.

Background: Elaborated system of neuromuscular connections gives to a human ability of body control, possibility to move and perform any complicated moves. The issue of neuromuscular conduction appears more frequently in physiotherapy, biological restoration or, widely perceived, sport training. Physiotherapists often wonder how sauna treatment, mainly used in biological restoration, influence on changes of its conduction and, on which level of a rehabilitation, training process or biological restoration should it be used. The aim of this paper was to check how an organism would react after methodically conducted sauna treatments in a form of whole body biological restoration. Material/Methods: Competitors of cycling group GR AIRCO Team participated in research. Twelve men were classified and divided onto two age groups. On the basis of questionnaires personal details as well as basic antropometric parameters were collected. Tool used to measure reactivity was chosen to research method: Reactivity Measure MCZR/ATB 1.0. Results: Analysis of variance of following measurements did not show any statistically crucial differences between the group under the age of 30 and over 30 (p>0,05). Results are shown respectively for right leg, left leg, both lower limbs tested simultaneously with the division onto age groups. Analysis of variance show increase of reactivity for all tested participants after sauna. Conclusions: Sauna treatment among cyclist has impact on a rate of lower limbs reactivity tested simultaneously with impulse differentiation to an appropriate legs.
