Both exercise interventions improved PPT relative to control, but their anatomical patterns differed. Quiet sitting was associated with statistically significant within-group hyperalgesia at the calf and lumbar sites. A higher post-intervention PPT indicated reduced pain sensitivity, while a lower PPT indicated hyperalgesia. Pressure pain threshold was the trial's primary outcome and was measured with a pressure algometer. The trial measured PPT at calf, lumbar, and forearm sites to assess local, semi-local, and remote responses.
