Regular Exercise Boosts Pain Tolerance: New Study Reveals Implications for Chronic Pain
Regular Exercise May Boost Pain Tolerance
Regular exercise has been found to potentially increase pain tolerance, according to new research. This finding may have significant implications for individuals experiencing chronic pain. In a large observational study involving over 10,000 adults, researchers discovered that those who consistently engaged in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity over a 7- to 8-year period reported the highest levels of pain tolerance. Surprisingly, even light exercise was associated with greater pain tolerance.
