Fig 1 Summary of cold sensory threshold and cold pain threshold data immediately before (Pre), 5 minutes after (Post 5), and 30 minutes after (Post 30) exercising for 30 minutes at 75% of V̇o2max. There were no significant differences over time for sensory or pain threshold tests. Whiskers represent 1 SEM.

Fig 2 Hot sensory threshold and hot pain threshold data. There were no significant differences over time for the thermal tests immediately before (Pre), 5 minutes after (Post 5), and 30 minutes after (Post 30) an exercise bout of 30 minutes at 75% of V̇o2max.

Fig 3 Mean thermal pain ratings at each 10-second interval during both cold and hot pain tests before and after 30 minutes of exercise at 75% of V̇o2max. There were no significant changes in hot or cold thermal pain ratings at 5 minutes or 30 minutes postexercise. Error bars are omitted for clarity of presentation.
