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

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Walking apnea at Low Lung Volume | Experimental | Participants walk at 6 km/h (10% slope) on treadmill for 6 minutes performing series of intermitent apneas |
|
| Walking normal breathing | Active Comparator | Participants walk with normal breathing at 6 km/h (10% slope) on treadmill for 6 minutes. |

| Walking apnea at Low Lung Volume | Other | Walking apnea at low 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) |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Pain pressure threshold (PPT) on thumb, anterior tibial and spinous process of C7 | PPT is tested on the dorsal base of the distal phalanx of the thumb on the dominant side and on the muscle belly of the tibialis anterior on the dominant side. The region to be pressed is marked with a pen. The patient is instructed to report with the first appearance of the sensation of "discomfort". An ascending ramp of 0.5 kg/cm/s is applied, at the rhythm of a metronome. The measurement is started on the thumb, and alternated with tibia and C7 until 3 measurements of each region are obtained, enough time to give 30 seconds of rest between measurements in the same region. This protocol has demonstrated high inter-observer reliability measuring healthy subjects (ICC = 0.91). | before and after intervention (up 30 minutes) |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) | 14-item questionnaire about their thoughts and feelings in the last month. The scale has a range of scores from 0 to 56. The lower the score, the more favorable for the patient's health. | before intervention (up 5 minutes) |
