Summary

This study looks at how former athletes, current master's athletes, and nonathletes (ages 35-65) experience pain and respond to moderate exercise. Participants will do strength and aerobic exercises while their pain tolerance and sensitivity are measured. The goal is to understand if past athletic training affects pain perception and how different exercises influence it.
