Mechanisms of Exercise-induced Hypoalgesia

Participants will complete an experimental exercise that will consist in 25 minutes of cycling between 60-80 Revolution Per Minute (RPM) on a cycle ergometer (CST BX40; Cardiostrong; Germany) at ≥ 70% of the Heart Rate Reserve (HRR).

The control condition will include an exercise design similar to the experimental condition except that the resistance will be kept at 25 W and the RPM below 50. The intensity of the exercise will be kept at minimal levels by ensuring that the heart rate does not increase \>25% from baseline.
