No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study investigates the role of two endogenous inhibitory mechanisms; exercise-induced hypoalgesia (EIH) and a conditioning painful stimulus (CPM) on passive joint range of motion, passive resistive torque and pain sensitivity. The study is a randomized, repeated-measures cross-over study.

Conditions

  • Pain Threshold

Interventions

OTHER

Exercise induced hypoalgesia (EIH)

An EIH response was induced by a 3-minute isometric contraction of the hand flexor muscles at 25% of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC).

OTHER

Static stretch (SS)

Two bouts of 30 seconds of static stretching (SS) of the knee flexors.

OTHER

Rest

The participants rested in a seated position for 10 minutes

OTHER

Conditioned pain modulation (CPM)

A CPM response was induced by way of the cold pressor test.
