The heat from the sauna stimulates physiological responses that are similar to that of moderate exercise. This includes an increased heart rate, improved blood flow and reduced blood pressure. Together these responses work to enhance the efficiency of your heart and circulatory system, which ultimately leads to an improvement in cardiovascular fitness over time.
By alternating between hot and cold exposures across the nordic cycle protocol creates a "pumping" effect on the circulatory system. These changes in circulation work to enhance the delivery of nutrient-rich blood throughout the body, thereby reducing inflammation and aiding muscle recovery and relaxation.
This protocol is designed to complement the body's natural sleep/wake cycle. It ends with 5 minutes of cold exposure in the morning, promoting a release of dopamine and norepinephrine for increased focus and energy throughout the day. Later in the day, it ends in the steam room, helping the body cool down faster, which is facilitative of a fast transition to sleep.
