Abstract
Conclusions Asymptomatic men displayed greater DNF endurance than women. The variability between subjects' DNF endurance capabilities was high. Age between 20 and 80 years and activity level did not affect DNF endurance. This is the first normative data set available for the DNF endurance test, which lays the foundation for further research in subjects with a history of cervicalgia and assists clinicians to objectify a milestone for DNF endurance deficits in patients.Keywords
