Some great new info on heat training. I've been a believer for quite some time, so it's nice to see some scientific support and study...
Hyperthermic Conditioning for Hypertrophy, Endurance, and Neurogenesis

A leading communicator on the science of sauna use is Dr. Rhonda Patrick, PHD. “Hyperthermic conditioning” is what Patrick refers to as using sauna (both with and without exercise) can improve endurance and athletic performance through improved blood flow to skeletal muscles, skin and also the heart. Nutrient delivery to the muscles is improved (with a glycogen-sparing effect). The heat adaptation allows you to train at a lower core body temperature— thus sweating occurs at a lower core body temperature and supports mechanisms that helps dissipate heat. Muscle hypertrophy was also improved through sauna use, i.e., the gaining lean muscle mass. Patrick also reveals that frequent use of a hot sauna can raise the production of human growth hormone to levels that basically sound illegal.
