Trial Summary
Trial Overview
Inclusion Criteria

Quantitative Sensory Testing, Physical Activity, and Body Composition in Adults

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of baseline experimental pain
sensitivity and expectation on the pain response following a single exercise session. Pain
assessment will be done with different intensities of noxious stimuli. In addition, the
expectation of how exercise impacts pain will be studied.

The relation between baseline pain sensitivity and the pain response following exercise is
not clear. The aims of this study are to investigate the influence of baseline experimental
pain sensitivity on the pain response following submaximal isometric exercise, and whether
expectations would influence outcomes with subsequent exposure to exercise.
