No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate how acute pain induced by hypertonic saline prior to exercise influence the magnitude of exercise-induced hypoalgesia after 1x3 min seated isometric knee extension exercise in healthy women. The study is a blinded randomized cross-over trial The results from the study may be of great importance to the understanding of exercise-induced hypoalgesia, and whether the presence of pain affects the effects of exercise.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Pain (hypertonic saline)

A bolus injection (1 ml) of hypertonic saline (5.8%) is injected into the dominant vastus medialis muscle 20 cm proximal from the basis of patella before performance of the 1x3 min Seated Isometric Knee Extension.

BEHAVIORAL

No pain (Isotonic saline)

A bolus injection (1 ml) of isotonic saline (0.9%) is injected into the dominant vastus medialis muscle 20 cm proximal from the basis of patella before performance of the 1x3 min Seated Isometric Knee Extension
