Hot bath after exercise may lower blood pressure while you sleep
NCT ID NCT06348225
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether soaking your legs in hot water after a 30-minute walk can lower blood pressure better than exercise or heat alone. Twenty adults with slightly high blood pressure completed four different sessions: walking plus a lukewarm bath, walking plus a hot bath, hot bath only, and no activity. Researchers measured blood pressure during sleep, heart rhythm, and blood vessel health to see if the combination offers extra heart benefits.
