...researchers have to say about the effects of cold on our bodies? Gemini invited SINTEF research scientist, physiologist and low temperature expert Øystein Wiggen to share his knowledge about the cold. “What do we know really about the health effects of cold bathing?” “Significantly more research has been...
...temperature conditions. We saw that when it becomes cold it costs the body more to perform work – it simply functions less efficiently”, says researcher Øystein Wiggen, who has been working on the same project. Major source of knowledge building Work involved with ”Sport in Cold Climates” is incorporated as part...
...personnel are highly competent, but the patient is too often at the mercy of an individual team’s expertise and the equipment it uses”, says Researcher Øystein Wiggen at SINTEF. “Currently, this may consist of a variety of products”, he says. If we improve quality, we will be able to save more lives. The product...

...if the stresses on the body become too great. “We’re well aware that the oil industry is pushing the boundaries further and further north”, says Øystein Wiggen at SINTEF. “And that in the future the sector will be as active in the Arctic as it is in the North Sea today. People will be working under extreme...

...the patient’s prognosis and ultimate survival. However, we still do not know what is the best form of treatment,” says SINTEF research scientist Øystein Wiggen, a physiologist participating in the Mountain Medicine Research Group. “More know-how in this field could therefore be of crucial significance...
Click to open “We’ve noted that keeping the leg area around and below the thighs warm is critical to a wearer’s sense of feeling warm enough”, says Øystein Wiggen, who is the physiologist responsible for testing the clothing concept. “At the same time it’s easy to lose a lot of heat from the legs because...
