Wim Hof (born 20 April 1959) is a Dutch daredevil, commonly nicknamed "The Iceman" for his ability to withstand extreme cold. Research has shown that Wim Hof is able to control his autonomic nervous system.
The Wim Hof Method (WHM) will be explained in section. The three components of the method are detailed, with the associated physiological effects on the body. There are various methods that separately deal with breathing techniques, the training of the mindset/concentration or exposure to the cold.
As far as we know, there is no method with an interactive basis between these three components. It is the very interaction of these components that appears to provide proof of the positive effect on the body, as shown by several scientific studies. (Hopman et al., 2010; Pickkers et al., 2011; Kamler, 2009). The method consists of three components that reinforce each other and is characterised by simplicity and effectiveness.
The three components of the WHM are as follows:
• Breathing exercises
• Training of mindset/concentration
• Gradual exposure to the cold
To explain why the method is so effective and accurate, the abovementioned components will first be separately highlighted, followed by an explanation why the interaction between these three components is so effective.
