Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Healthy (self-report) and free from all exclusion criteria, Teesside University students and staff of Teesside University, aged between 16-50 years of age. An upper age limit has been included as preclinical studies have suggested that anatomical changes and increases in inflammation which occur due to increased age can lead to increased sensitivity to EIPPT (Yezierski, 2012). This is not considered to be discriminatory as it is methodologically justified.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: People with any symptoms of or known presence of heart disease or major atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, condition or injury or co-morbidity affecting the ability to undertake exercise, diabetes mellitus, early family history of sudden cardiac death and pregnancy or likelihood of pregnancy, any condition which could alter pain sensitivity such as neuropathic disorders, persistent pain, any present (or history, over the preceding six months) of medical problems of the upper limb, taking any analgesic medication (prescription or non-prescription), inability to, or any doubt of ability to, give Informed Consent.
