Acute Sauna Session and Glucose Control (NCT07520929)
The Effects of an Acute Sauna Session on Glucose Control in Individuals at Risk for Metabolic Impairments
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effect of a single 40-minute sauna session on glucose control in individuals at risk for metabolic impairments. Research Questions: * Can a single sauna session completed before a meal reduce the post-meal blood glucose response? * Can a single sauna session improve 24-hour glucose control? Study Design: Participants will complete two lab visits: one involving a sauna session and one placebo visit (resting condition). Researchers will compare the effects on glucose control using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). What Participants Will Do: Attend a sauna familiarization session Have a CGM sensor placed on the upper arm Visit the lab twice (once for sauna, once for placebo) Consume three standardized meals at home after each session
