Plain-language summary

The impact of the environment on human health is considerable. An important factor is the effect of temperature on the human body, where either the effects of short-term exposure to extreme temperatures (cryotherapy, sauna, etc.) or the long-term environmental impact are monitored. The study was focused on research of the long-term effect of repeated CWI on atherogenesis, lipid parameters and fat distribution.
