Exercise Induced Analgesia But Not Mood State Varies With Exercise Intensity.

Abstract

Subjects were 20% accurate in the foot task and 88% accurate in the hand task based on squared residuals. Accuracy outcomes in the present study were not statistically different from accuracy outcomes from identical mass perception tasks using running shoes in either men (shoe mass range 220-360 g) or women (shoe mass range 160-290 g), for either foot or hand perceptual tasks. CONCLUSIONS: Consistent with previous studies, subjects perceived relative basketball shoe masses poorly when wearing the shoes but well when holding them. It appears that mass perceptual abilities are comparable regardless of whether running shoes (with overall lighter masses) or basketball shoes (with overall heavier masses) are used.
