Abstract
The increasing tempo of modern life is causing greater demand for various forms of recreation. New types of facilities are being constructed, among which are so-called Water Parks. An integral element of these facilities is the sauna complex. This is an area containing an aggregation of saunas and baths with a broad spectrum of effects. For the proper design and operation of these complexes it is essential to be familiar with the broad range of possibilities offered by the sauna, and to possess some basic knowledge of physiological reactions. Sauna complexes for public use should be designed on the basis of familiarity with stimuli and all the elements that influence the desired outcome of a sauna session. A properly designed environment in such facilities enables them to be fully and effectively utilized.
