Brief Summary

The purpose of this study will be to study the individual spatiotemporal structure and dynamics of topologically defined areas of perceived body discomfort and pain during exercise. Participants will perform two constant tests (cycling and running) at an intensity corresponding to Borg's scale of Rating of Perceived Exhaustion (RPE) (6-20) = 15 (i.e., hard). Using a body map template, participants will report every 15s the perceived locations with discomfort and pain independently of the magnitude of the discomfort and pain.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Changes of pain location during exercise measured through pain drawings, body maps, or manikins.

  We tend to study and delineate individualized pain and discomfort patterns during exercise.

Pain Patterns

EXPERIMENTAL

In this vein, we tend to study and delineate individualized pain and discomfort patterns in exercise.

Other: Exercise

Interventions

Exercise OTHER

Completion of this study will took a total of three sessions, separated by one-week intervals. At week one, participants will complete a baseline incremental cycling and running tests to determine the workload and velocity values corresponding to their RPE (6-20 Borg's scale) = 15 (i.e., heavy). Participants also will be familiarized with the use of body maps and reporting procedures. At week two and three, participants will complete the constant-power cycling and constant velocity running tasks. The constant-power cycling and running will last up to volitional exhaustion. The end will be set when participants won't be able to cycle longer at the fixed cadence.
