Summary

This study looks at how high-intensity aerobic exercise affects the way healthy adults feel pain. Researchers will compare people who exercise multiple times to those who exercise just once, measuring pain thresholds and tolerance. The goal is to understand how the nervous system adapts to repeated exercise and how factors like optimism and anxiety play a role.
