The present study examined whether pain catastrophizing and pain-related fear predict the experience of pain in body regions that are not targeted by an experimental muscle injury protocol. A delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS)-protocol was used to induce pain unilaterally in the pectoralis, serratus, trapezius, latisimus dorsi, and deltoid muscles. The day following the DOMS-protocol, participants were asked to rate their pain as they lifted weighted canisters with their targeted arm (i.e. injured) and their not-targeted arm.
