The sauna has been proven to have similar cardiovascular health benefits as exercise. What is the effect? I'd wager it's not the peripheral muscles but the heart and the lungs.
Correct.
The German sauna study did not find improvements in muscular work capacity.
BFR training on the other hand, does. Possibly due to some combination of cellular and vascular adaptations in the limbs.
