...flinke, men pasienten er ofte prisgitt kunnskapen til det enkelte team og løsningen de bruker. I dag er de basert på ulike produkter. – Forsker Øystein Wiggen i SINTEF Produktet forskerteamet har landet på er bygd opp av flere ulike lag. Innerst mot kroppen er det en engangs fuktabsorbent som fungerer...
... Purpose: To investigate differences in double-poling (DP) endurance performance, economy, and peak oxygen uptake (V̇O2peak) at low (–15°C) and moderate (6°C) ambient temperatures (TA) in cross-country skiers wearing standard racing suits. Methods: Thirteen well-trained male cross...

This study compared the effects of cold (−14° C) and moderate environments (6° C) on double poling (DP) sprint performance. Wearing modern cross-country ski racing suits, 14 highly trained male cross-country skiers performed a test protocol on a DP ergometer, consisting of a standardized warm-up...
Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate how night work at low ambient temperatures affects cognitive performance (short-term memory and reaction time), skin- and core temperature, thermal comfort, sleepiness, and cortisol. We hypothesized that cognitive performance is reduced at...
...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...
Petroleum operations in the Barents Sea require personal protective clothing (PPC) to ensure the safety and performance of the workers. This paper describes the accomplishment of a user-centred design process of new PPC for offshore workers operating in this area. The user-centred design process was...
...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...

High physical work demands are believed to be partly responsible for the high sickness absence among home care workers, but no studies have assessed their physical work demands using precise device-based measurements. Hence, the objective of this observational study was to assess physical work...

Wiggen er fysiolog og forsker på hva kroppen...
Background: Use of a vapor barrier in the prehospital care of cold-stressed or hypothermic patients aims to reduce evaporative heat loss and accelerate rewarming. The application of a vapor barrier is recommended in various guidelines, along with both insulating and wind/waterproof layers and an...
Background: Accidental hypothermia is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Research on treatment strategies for accidental hypothermia is complicated by the low incidence and heterogeneous patient population. We have developed a new method for clinical trials of experimental hypothermia, to...
Objectives: High physical work demands can cause musculoskeletal disorders and sick leave in petroleum workers. However, our knowledge of their physical work demands is scarce and based on self-report. The objective of our study is to work towards closing this knowledge gap by assessing the physical...

Several occupational groups are exposed to periods of low ambient temperatures while performing manual work tasks outdoors. Work tasks typically include heavy lifting, tool handling, and overhead work. This study evaluated the effect of working position and cold environment on muscle activation...
