Scientists from the University of Halle-Wittenberg, Germany, have conducted research on how a sauna affects blood pressure. As it turned out, the blood pressure level first rises and then falls.
Sports doctors involved 19 volunteers in the study, who needed to stay in the sauna for 25 minutes. The participants of the experiment had their blood pressure and pulse measured during and after the session.
The results showed that blood pressure increases directly when visiting the specified place. It was also noted that after some time the indicators fell and became even below the level of the initial value.
"There is a big difference between the effect of the sauna and the effect in the rest phase: first the blood pressure rises, then it falls below the baseline. We conclude that anyone can visit this site, as moderate physical exertion is tolerated without symptoms. However, people with low blood pressure should be a little more careful," the scientists said.
