The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of microbubbles (less than 50 u m in diameter) in bathing on thermoregulation and cleansing of lipids. Twelve young healthy males rested in a chamber (25℃/50%RH) for 30min, bathed in microbubbled (MB) or normal water (CB) for 20min and then rested again in the chamber for 30min. The increase in mean skin temperature, sweat rate, skin blood flow and heart rate for MB during bathing were significantly larger than those for CB. However, there was no significant difference in sebum level. We concluded that MB involved more thermal strain than CB.
