Effect of pain on corticospinal kinetics during cycling
Summary
We are conducting a research study examining how pain effects brain responses and muscle fatigue during cycling exercise. In a total of 5 visits, you will perform single-legged cycling while receiving nerve and brain stimulations (non-invasive and painless). In 2 of these visits, the blood flow to your leg will be briefly restricted to induce a "painful" sensation; however, this sensation will be brief and is not dangerous.
