Regular exercise may boost pain tolerance — a new finding that may have implications for those experiencing chronic pain, new research suggests.
Researchers drew from the prospective population based Tromsø health study, a health survey that draws on surveys conducted periodically since 1974 among residents in Northern Norway.Data on physical activity, experimental pain tolerance, sex, sociodemographic covariates, and chronic pain was collected through questionnaires, biological samples and clinical examination.
CPT tolerance was 7%, 14%, and 16% higher respectively for light, moderate, and vigorous consistent exercise across the two surveys vs the sedentary group. Researchers also found that people who were sedentary at baseline who reported greater physical activity at follow-up also had higher pain tolerance than those who remained sedentary, although this finding was not statistically significant.
There was no significant difference in pain tolerance between men and women and all participants experienced a decline in tolerance over time.
