Schematic of the experimental design. Females and males in the intermittent post-exercise sauna bathing intervention group (SAUNA) and control group (CON) completed temperate exercise tests (18 °C) consisting of lactate profile (LP) and maximal aerobic capacity (V̇O2max) tests, a running heat tolerance test (HTT; 30 min, 9 km·h−1/2% gradient, 40 °C/40%RH), and a plasma volume assessment at baseline (Pre) and following three weeks (Post) of sauna intervention or control. Respective tests were completed ~ 28 days apart. Black bars indicate weeks
