Study Summary

This trial looks at how people's expectations can reduce pain sensitivity during exercise, and how that changes with intensity.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy, English-speaking individuals who are pain-free and ready to exercise without needing a medical exam. They shouldn't have had surgery or injuries in the past 6 months, use prescription pain meds regularly, have chronic pain conditions, take blood thinners, or have medical issues affecting sensation like uncontrolled diabetes.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study investigates how people's expectations influence their experience of lessened pain sensitivity after exercising. Participants will be given either positive or negative expectations about the effects of dynamic resistance training at different intensities on their pain perception.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves exercise and psychological expectations rather than medication, typical drug side effects aren't expected. However, participants may experience general discomfort from exercise or emotional responses based on the expectation set they receive.
