I don't have the time to read through the article, but I would bet that there are no active controls used. In other words, yes, blood pressure after a sauna bathing session is probably lower, but that is probably true for a variety of leisure activities, so what's the point of stating the obvious? The more interesting research question is under what circumstances would a sauna bath be recommended over other interventions? I don't mean to knock this paper in particular, the lack of active controls is endemic to academic research in health.
