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 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 looks at whether taking a hot bath after exercise can help you perform better in low-oxygen (high altitude) conditions. It might be relevant if you are active and interested in how heat and altitude affect recovery.
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 oxygen in a pressurized chamber can help elite sailors recover faster from training fatigue. Researchers will measure how well this treatment works compared to standard recovery methods.
This trial tests if exercising in warm thermal water and drinking mineral water can improve heart health in adults over 45. If you have a stable health condition and can do physical activity, this program may help your cardiovascular fitness.
