Ohlman T, et al. - In healthy older adult men and women, the researchers measured potential psychological and physical activity predictors of the magnitude of exercise-induced hypoalgesia (EIH) following submaximal isometric exercise. For this research, 52 healthy older adults performed a test of EIH, the Pain Catastrophizing Scale, the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia, and wore an accelerometer on the hip for one week to evaluate physical activity levels. They concluded that older adults did not show EIH following submaximal isometric exercise, however, those who did more moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) per week experienced a greater magnitude of pain inhibition following acute exercise.
