Abstract EN
The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and body mass loss (BML) induced by thermal stress in a dry sauna.
The study was conducted on a group of 674 sedentary students, 326 women and 348 men aged 19-20.
The correlations between BMI scores and BML were determined.
The subjects were placed in supine position in a dry sauna for two sessions of 10 minutes each with a 5-minute break.
The influence of BMI on the amount of BML in the sauna was determined by nonlinear stepwise regression.
The smallest BML was noted in underweight subjects; students with normal weight lost more weight, whereas the greatest BML was reported in overweight and obese subjects.
Persons with a high BMI are at higher risk of dehydration, and they should pay particular attention to replenishing fluids during a visit to the sauna.
The proposed equations for calculating BML based on a person's BMI can be useful in estimating the amount of fluids that should be replenished by both men and women during a visit to a dry sauna.
