Purpose The purpose of this study was to examine whether an individual’s IPC-mediated change in cold pain sensitivity is associated with the same individual’s IPC-mediated change in exercise performance.Methods Thirteen individuals (8 males; 5 females, 27 ± 7 years, 55 ± 5 ml.kgs–1.min–1) underwent two separate cold-water immersion tests: with preceding IPC treatment and without. In addition, each participant undertook two separate 5-km cycling time trials: with preceding IPC treatment and without. Pearson correlation coefficients were used to assess the relationship between an individual’s change in cold-water pain sensitivity following IPC with their change in 5-km time trial performance following IPC.Results During the cold-water immersion test, pain intensity increased over time (p < 0.001) but did not change with IPC (p = 0.96). However, IPC significantly reduced the total time spent under pain (−9 ± 7 s; p = 0.001) during the cold-water immersion test. No relationship was found between an individual’s change in time under pain (r = −0.2, p = 0.6) or pain intensity (r = −0.3, p = 0.3) following IPC and their change in performance following IPC.Conclusion These findings suggest that IPC can modulate sensitivity to a painful stimulus, but this altered sensitivity does not explain the ergogenic efficacy of IPC on 5-km cycling performance.
