Valerian Romanovski is a renowned scientist and record-breaking individual who has dedicated his life to analyzing the incredible capabilities of the human body and mind. With a fascination for pushing the limits of human potential, he has achieved numerous Guinness World Records and undertaken several groundbreaking projects. In this exclusive interview, Valerian shares insights into the after-effects of exposure to cold, the importance of recovery, his personal journey with cold exposure, and future endeavors.
Q: Can you tell us about yourself and your profession? Who is Valerian Romanovski?
A: I am a scientist and currently | am analysing the possibilities of the human body, and above all the mind. It fascinates me how much we can afford. Working on myself allowed me win 5 Guinness World Records (recognised) + 5 Guinness World Records broken (not recognised for technical reasons) and about 10 projects (world feats). | pass on the knowledge gained from the records and projects | have completed to other people. | show how we can safely work with the body.
Q: What is the "after-drop" in relation to exposure to cold?
A: During exposure to cold, it is crucial to understand the priorities of our body as it cools down. In cases of intense cooling, hypothermia, or suspected hypothermia, mechanisms and procedures are developed to regulate body temperature. A basic rule of thumb is that the more hypothermic we become (near hypothermia), the slower the temperature adjustment should be. We prioritize insulation and warming of the person, particularly the chest, while limiting body movement. If the approach or estimation of the person's condition is incorrect, it can lead to an after-drop. This refers to a further or rapid drop in body temperature caused by the mixing of cold blood from the extremities with warmer blood in the chest. This condition is dangerous to our health.
Q: Is a recovery period necessary after exposure to such extreme temperatures?
A: If we engage in short-term exposure to cold, such as a brief swim, thermal regeneration is not necessary. However, in the case of more extensive or competitive swimming, a recovery period becomes necessary. Sometimes, after competitive swimming, the regeneration process can extend for several months.
Q: What prompted you to start the practice of cold exposure?
A: Initially, I perceived cold as a rival that I wanted to confront. Over time, I realized that it is impossible to defeat this elemental force. Hence, I decided to delve deeper and gain a better understanding of it. By undertaking various winter challenges, I was astonished by the untapped potential of our bodies. Currently, I am exploring the boundaries of the body and psyche, eager to determine whether they exist or if we create them ourselves.
Q: How did you get involved with the Polar Bear Club?
A: I was invited to Scotland for the club's first training session. The ideals of the Polar Bear Club resonate with me deeply. I strongly believe that the stimulus of cold can be harnessed for therapeutic purposes in all aspects of life's difficulties. My goal is to teach Polar Bears how to be safe in the cold because understanding the effects of cold on our bodies allows us to fully embrace this element while experiencing freedom and peace.
Q: What do you consider your greatest achievement, especially regarding exposure to cold water?
A: I don't perceive challenges as mere achievements. I place more emphasis on the journey towards records and deepening my understanding of my own body. Achievement is a byproduct of self-improvement, showcasing that we have mastered a specific field or topic.
In conclusion, it is evident that Valerjan Romanovski is not only an exceptional mentor but also an esteemed member of the polar bear team. His expertise and passion for both mentoring and conservation efforts have made him an invaluable asset in the field.
