Journal Article
A proposed test to determine physical working capacity at pain intensity threshold (PWCPIT)
2025
Overview
Purpose
This study aimed to establish a new threshold parameter called the physical working capacity at pain intensity threshold (PWC
PIT
) using a pain intensity scale and mathematical methods similar to those used to develop the physical working capacity at oxygen consumption threshold (PWC
VO2
) and physical working capacity at heart rate threshold (PWC
HRT
). The study had two objectives: (i) to examine the relationship between PWC
PIT
and traditional PWC measures and (ii) to explore the physiological mechanisms underlying the relationship between pain perception and capacity thresholds.
Methods
Fourteen male volunteers (age 21 ± 2 years, height 176 ± 6 cm, weight 76 ± 9 kg, VO
2peak
37.8 ± 7.8 ml/kg/min
−1
) underwent an incremental exhaustion test and four 8-min randomly ordered work bouts on different days at 70–100% peak power output (119–320 W) to establish their PWC
PIT
, PWC
HRT
and PWC
VO2
. One-way repeated-measures ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc tests and a zero-order correlation matrix were used to analyze these thresholds.
Results
PWC
PIT
significantly correlated with PWC
HRT
(
r
= 0.88,
P
< 0.001), PWC
VO2
(
r
= 0.84,
P
< 0.001), and gas exchange threshold (GET) (
r
= 0.7,
P
= 0.006).
Conclusion
The model for estimating PWC
HRT
and PWC
VO2
can be applied to determine the PWC
PIT
. By examining how PWC
PIT
aligns with, differs from, or complements existing PWC threshold measures, researchers may provide a more comprehensive understanding of the factors that govern endurance performance.
