time in seconds after summing the results of all 4 tests

Outcome measures

Measure	Healthy Working Age Population n=48 Participants the sum of 4 isometric core muscle endurance tests (McGill V-sit, Biering-Sorensen and sideplank on each side) isometric core muscle endurance testing: holding previously described isometric positions until fatigue
Core Muscle Endurance	530.5 seconds Standard Error 34.6

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: during the time of testing, in 1 h

weight(kg)/height(cm)2 Value under 18.5 is considered underweight, over 25 overweight, and over 30 obese.

Outcome measures

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: at the time of testing, last 2 weeks

physical activity level based on national and international recommendations

Outcome measures

Measure	Healthy Working Age Population n=48 Participants the sum of 4 isometric core muscle endurance tests (McGill V-sit, Biering-Sorensen and sideplank on each side) isometric core muscle endurance testing: holding previously described isometric positions until fatigue
Physical Activity Level Questionnaire	27 Participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: up to 6 months before the assessment

categorical data, experience of nonspecific low back pain up to 6 months before the assessment

Outcome measures

Adverse Events

Healthy Working Age Population

Serious events: 0 serious events

Other events: 12 other events

Deaths: 0 deaths

Serious adverse events

Adverse event data not reported

Other adverse events

Measure	Healthy Working Age Population n=48 participants at risk the sum of 4 isometric core muscle endurance tests (McGill V-sit, Biering-Sorensen and sideplank on each side) isometric core muscle endurance testing: holding previously described isometric positions until fatigue
Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders Shoulder, elbow, lower back pain	25.0% 12/48 • Number of events 12 • Data was collected on a nonspecific time of the day, in 1 hour All possible health risks were excluded in recruitment phase as it was considered as exclusion criteria. Also, each participant was allowed to stop at any time during the testing. All possible other events were recorded from participants' feedback during and right after testing.
