Inter-individual variability in pain perception and sensitivity responses to low-load exercise with an absolute or relative blood flow restriction pressure

]. Responses were consistent across cycles for thigh pain [r = 0.82 (0.75, 0.87)] but not lower body PPT [r = 0.16 (-0.02, 0.33)]. Adding a Treatment-by-Group interaction in the model did not numerically impact the inter-individual variability. Our data suggests that individuals perceive pain from blood flow restricted exercise differently, and the inter-individual variability appears regardless of pressure application method.
