Research Abstract

We examined (1) the effects of carbon dioxide-rich water (CO2) foot bathing on circulatory responses, thermoregulatory responses and thermal sensation in winter; and (2) the effects of foot bathing in cold water on arterial stiffening index (CAVI).We considered (1) the possible effect of body temperature during rest, and seasonal variation on physiological reactions to foot bathing; and (2) the CAVI index was not affected by foot bathing in cold water (an environmental temperature around 25℃ and water temperatures of 15℃).
