Table 1 PPT values at UT, AD, and BIC sites for the entire group, men and women. P values for the entire group represent the test between pre- and post-fatigue conditions and p values for men and women represent differences between the groups. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (*statistically significant at p < 0.05, **statistically significant at p < 0.01)

From: Sex differences in perceptual responses to experimental pain before and after an experimental fatiguing arm task
