Summary

The aim of this randomized controlled study is to explore the hypoalgesic response of a 6 minutes of intermittent walking apneas training session at high lung volume in healthy subjects; also, as secondary objectives, to analyze the cardiovascular and respiratory response produced during the intervention.

Conditions

• Pain
• Hypoxemia
• Hypercapnia
• Apnea

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Walking apnea at High Lung Volume	Walking apnea at High Lung Volume Participants walk at 6 km/h (10% slope) on treadmill for 6 minutes. Participants in the experimental group will perform intermittent apneas at high lung volume with a density of 5 seconds, followed by a normal breath of 5 seconds until completing the 6 minutes)
OTHER	Walking normal breathing	Participants walk at 6 km/h (10% slope) on treadmill for 6 minutes. Participants in the control group will remain breathing normally for these 6 minutes.
