Muscle pain induced by hypertonic saline in the knee extensors decreases single-limb isometric time to task failure

Abstract: Purpose Increased nociceptive activity and the experience of exercise-induced pain (EIP) may contribute to fatigue during endurance exercise. To investigate this, a pain model that produces pain similar to EIP and decouples its relationship to exercise intensity is required. This study (1) compared the quality of pain caused by a hypertonic saline injection into the vastus lateralis in resting and exercise conditions, and (2) investigated whether this pain contributes to changes in time to task failure.

“…This was however observed with a greater pain intensity than achieved in this study (peak pain 8.5/10 versus 5.6 respectively) Whilst it cannot be ruled out that pain may reduce contralateral muscle strength, the findings of the present study do not suggest that a reduction in maximal force generating capacity (and the consequential increased relative intensity of the endurance task) was responsible for the shorter TTF. This is in contrast with localised muscle pain, which does reduce maximal force generating capacity and then the relative demands of the task (Graven-Nielsen et al, 1997;Smith et al, 2020).…”

“…Visit two comprised of a second familiarisation of the isometric exercise task where the intensity (% maximum voluntary contraction) was adjusted from the first visit if the TTF was lower than four minutes or greater than six minutes. This was to ensure that task failure coincided with the typical pain duration from the intramuscular injection of hypertonic saline (Smith et al, 2020). Visits 3 and 4 comprised of the two experimental visits (see figure 1).…”
