Physiology & Medicine / Can hot tubs give us some benifits of exercise?

Jon is eager to find the answer to this question.
"When one exercises, among other things, one's core body temperature
often rises, and one's heart rate rises. Of course, various muscle
groups also are stressed.
Suppose you just sit in a hot tub for an hour. Your core body
temperature will rise, your heart rate is likely to rise, and you may
well sweat.
Does sitting in that hot tub, which stresses your heart and body, confer
any benefits similar to "real" exercise? It would seem that it might,
if one puts the "various muscle groups" aside."
