Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of experimental knee pain on the muscle strength gain after 8 weeks of strengthening exercises for the quadriceps. It is hypothesized that experimental knee pain will reduce the muscle strength gain following strengthening exercises in healthy volunteers.

Conditions

• Muscle Strength

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Experimental knee pain	Injection of 1 ml hypertonic saline (5.8%) into the infrapatellar fat pad
OTHER	Non-painful control injections	Injection of isotonic saline into the infrapatellar fat pad
