Interventions

None listed

Eligibility

Age

18 Years to 99 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: MSPD-group: - The subjects need to be diagnosed with MSPD by their General Practitioner or Medical specialist. In this study, it only applies to specific and a-specific low back pain, specific and a-specific pelvic or lower extremity pain, chronic pain syndromes and fibromyalgia. The rehabilitation physician indicated that treatment was suitable to diminish the limitations resulting from this MSPD. At the moment of inclusion, the subject with MSPDs has to be under supervision in Rehabilitation Centre Blixembosch, Eindhoven. ;General inclusion criteria: - Age between 30 and 65 years - Ability to walk 100 meters without interruption

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - Not able to read and speak sufficient Dutch (because of the questionnaires) - The use of β-blockers - Suffering from neurological, metabolic, cardiovascular or pulmonary disease making aerobic capacity testing impossible - Major psychiatric conditions - Pregnancy - Other medical co-morbidity which impede intensive aerobic capacity testing

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Group of healthy subjects: difference of maximal volume oxygen uptake (VO2 max in mL/kg lean body mass/min (mL/kg LBM.min-1)) between the two test methods in percentages. Golden standard is the regular Åstrand test. MSPD group: the amount of drop-outs. If possible (regarding the amount of drop-outs and the study power), the difference of maximal volume oxygen uptake between the two test methods in percentages is also a main study parameter in this group. Than also the regular Åstrand test is seen as the golden standard.	—

Measure	Time frame
Healthy group: the amount of drop-outs Both groups: general self-efficacy, pain (expected maximal pain during the Åstrand test and actual experienced pain during the Åstrand test), perceived exertion, and an estimation of the chance of completing the Åstrand test.	—
