ABSTRACT:
The purpose of the present investigation was to examine the influence of martial arts training on the perception of experimentally induced pressure pain, anger, and physical self-efficacy. Thirty novice volunteers (M age = 20.6 years; SD = 1.5 years; 12 females and 18 males) completed assessments of anger (STAXI), physical self-efficacy (PSES), pain threshold (PT), and pain ratings (PR) prior to and following 14-weeks of participation in a martial arts (MA; n=15) or control condition (CON; n=15). Data were analyzed via 2 (gender) by 2 (conditions) by 2 (trials) mixed model MANOVA with univariate ANOVAs and simple effects test post hoc analysis. Results indicated a significant increase in pain threshold F(1, 28) = 5.71, p <0.02 as well as a significant decrease in pain ratings F(1,28) = 5.87, p <0.02 when compared to baseline measurements following the MA condition. No significant (p > 0.05) changes in anger or physical self-efficacy were detected following MA participation and no significant changes in any of the dependent measures emerged for the CON condition. It is concluded that MA trainign is associated with improvements in the perception of experimentally induced pain.
