Abstract

This study was a secondary analysis of The Short-Term Effect of Kettlebell Swings on Lumbopelvic Pressure Pain Thresholds: A Randomized Controlled Trial as authored by Keilman et al. The study contained 40 healthy young adults and measured the effects of kettlebell swings (KBS) on acute pain perception using pressure pain threshold (PPT). Overall, this secondary analysis utilized a repeated measures ANOVA to determine the significance on dynamic versus static KBS on acute pain perception as measured with PPT. The results were not statistically significant, which suggests that either exercise variation could be performed with similar results in pain perception. Although the piriformis demonstrated statistically significant within-subject effects, the effect size (0.037) was negligible.  Regardless, the results suggest that both static and dynamic KBS will have a similar effect on acute pain perception following performance.
