FIGURE 3.

Effect of acute exercise and short‐term exercise training on pain thresholds over the rectus femoris. (a) Acute effect of exercise on PPT: Change in PPT over the rectus femoris, before and after exercise session 1 for each intensity. (b) Effect of short‐term training on the magnitude of EIH over the rectus femoris: EIH represents the change in pre‐post PPT before and after the exercise intervention. The unbroken center line indicates the median, perforated lines indicate quartiles and the extremities represent the range
