A new study from Israel finds that triathletes feel less pain than casual exercisers.

Triathletes feel less pain
A new study from Israel finds that triathletes feel less pain than casual exercisers. If further research shows that intense training has given them this ability, then it could be a way to treat chronic pain sufferers.
Triathletes train and compete in a gruelling mix of three endurance sports: swimming, cycling and long-distance running, without rest. They push themselves beyond what most of us can endure.
However, we know very little about what gives them these abilities. That is, until two physical therapy researchers at Tel Aviv University decided to investigate and propose a possible explanation, which they report in the journal PAIN.
Senior researcher and professor Ruth Defrin summarizes their findings:
“In our study, triathletes rated pain lower in intensity, tolerated it longer, and inhibited it better than individuals in a control group. We think both physiological and psychological factors underlie these differences and help explain how triathletes are able to perform at such a high level.”
