  1. B-IPQ (0–80); higher scores indicate more threatening views
  2. FABQ (0–24); higher scores indicate more fear-avoidance beliefs
  3. Perceived physical fitness (0–40); higher scores indicate better perceived fitness
  4. Seconds of trunk flexor endurance (0–120 s); holding the position for as long as possible up to a maximum of 2 min
  5. Seconds of extensor endurance (0–180 s); holding the position for as long as possible up to a maximum of 3 min
  6. Sit to stand test (0–30 s); as many repetitions as possible in 30 s
  7. ODI (0–100); higher scores indicate more disability
  8. Back pain (0–10); lower scores indicate lower levels of pain
  9. Leg pain (0–10); lower scores indicate lower levels of pain
