Cardiorespiratory Fitness Predicts EEG-Based Somatosensory Responses Following Noxious Mechanical Stimulation in a Conditioned Pain Modulation Model
The results indicate that CRF is associated with altered somatosensory responses during the CPM paradigm in our EEG-based pattern. Higher CRF appears to facilitate pain modulation processes without affecting central sensitivity to noxious mechanical stimulation, highlighting the potential benefits of higher levels of endurance exercise, but not strength levels.
