Wim Hof, ice baths, and the science behind controlled breathing.
In a groundbreaking 2014 study at Radboud University, practitioners of the Wim Hof Method were injected with bacterial endotoxin and demonstrated a voluntary ability to influence their immune response — producing fewer inflammatory symptoms and more anti-inflammatory chemicals than the control group. This quiz dives into the science and practice of breathwork and cold exposure therapy.
You'll explore everything from ancient pranayama techniques (practiced for over 3,000 years) to modern applications like Navy SEAL box breathing, the explosive growth of cold water swimming since COVID, and the physiological mechanisms behind cold shock response. Whether you're a Wim Hof enthusiast or simply curious about how breathing and temperature affect human performance, these 50 questions will test your knowledge.
