Hot spring therapy for reducing fatigue during altitude rowing training
Part of Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether soaking in hot springs can help young rowers feel less tired and recover better while training at high altitude. Researchers want to see if the hot water helps the body's natural fatigue-fighting systems work better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 12–16 years old and in good overall health
- At least 1 year of regular rowing training experience
- Currently training at high altitude (around 1,600 meters) as part of a centralized program
- No heart, lung, kidney, hormone, or nerve disorders; no uncontrolled blood pressure
- Not taking common pain relievers (like ibuprofen), immune-suppressing drugs, or medications that affect mood or alertness
- No open skin wounds, severe eczema, or condition that makes hot water soaking unsafe for you

This study tests whether training at high altitude for 4 weeks helps teenage male rowers improve their sport performance, fitness, and heart and lung health. Researchers will measure changes in body composition, rowing ability, and how well your heart and lungs work.
This trial tests whether bathing in thermal mineral water can reduce pain and improve performance in rowers. It is open to competitive and recreational rowers who train regularly.
This study tests whether taking a hot bath after exercise can help you perform better in low-oxygen conditions (like at high altitude). You'll need to be a regular exerciser and free of certain health issues.
This study tests whether taking hot baths before or after intense exercise helps young track-and-field athletes recover better and triggers natural protective proteins in their muscles. Researchers will measure muscle strength and a cellular protein called HSP70 to see if heat helps the body bounce back from hard workouts.
This study tests whether breathing pure oxygen in a special chamber (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) can help top-level sailors recover faster from the tiredness caused by intense training. If the therapy works, it could become a new way to help athletes bounce back quicker and perform better.
This study tests a new cooling method for people who exercise in heat and might be at risk for heat stroke. If you join, researchers will see how quickly this method lowers your body temperature and helps your body recover.
