If any of you homos make homo-erotic jokes about this, I’ll kill you!

Word to the wise: probably shouldn’t use the words “beat” and “sauna” in the same sentence.

The study took 10 random men age 20 to 28 years old and paired them with 10 random women age 20 to 28 years old and plunked them down in a hot tub with Brie and Chardonnay. The researchers measured blood pressure and other physiological responses to the soothing hot tub water.

It is almost like water is a better conductor of heat than air. This needs to be published in the journal of thermodynamics.

Private hot tub, OK.

Public hot tub, no way Ho Zay.

Who the He!! would spend money on a study like this,
and what difference does it make in the real world?

[shaggy eel]

The study looked at 10 men and 10 women who exercised regularly and ranged in age from 20 to 28 years old. The goal was to isolate the physiological responses to each heating method in a young, healthy population.

,,, very limited number of people in a very specific age range. I thought hot water soaking would pump the blood pressure up. Get back to us when the survey includes people in their sixties. In the next three weeks I'll be buying a sauna [infra red]. It takes up less space than a hot tub and the running costs are confined to time of use, rather than a spa pool staying heated. Also the maintenance factor is worth consideration.

At the risk of introducing the ick factor, sometimes (often) soaking in a tub can trigger a UTI. I’m sure it depends on a person’s particular system.

I would choose a sauna if I had to pick just one

[reviled downesdad]

Thought cold plunge had benefits too.
Newer spa pool heaters can also chill the water.

What do 20 year olds need to recover from?

I have one, a bother to clean and it takes up space. I recommend a foot spa — jetted foot bath — and a cozy chair. They’re also far less expensive.

"Do your hot water soaks."

50 years ago, my prostate started giving me a bit of trouble and a French Urologist told me that soaking in a hot tub several times a week was good for men and bad for women. I've soaked in 120-degree water at least 3 times a week since and have had no more trouble. It is great for the old, tired muscles also.

[CandyFloss]

Might as well do a workout once a day. Lets you get quite hot at times.

[DeplorableTrumpSupporter]

I do both... growing up, dad had a friend in Minnesota that was 100% Finnish and in the winter, he did the typical Finnish Sauna routine - Sauna then rolling in the snow. I thought it was crazy, but it was great.

[Vaduz]

Don’t care to be in water my ass is in.
