Profound neuronal differences during Exercise-Induced Hypoalgesia between athletes and non-athletes revealed by functional near-infrared spectroscopy
This fNIRS dataset captures brain oxygenation changes during exercise-induced hypoalgesia in 22 endurance athletes and 20 non-athletes. Participants completed high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and pressure pain tests while oxyhemoglobin was recorded over the prefrontal, sensorimotor and posterior parietal cortices. The data support comparisons of athlete and non-athlete neural responses to exercise and pain, and how these relate to pain perception.
