Objective
To obtain reference values for the isometric endurance test (IET) of the cervical flexor muscles, investigate its reproducibility, and compare the results with the maximal isometric strength test (MIST) of the cervical flexor muscles.
Design
Cross-sectional non-comparative study with single group repeated measurements.
Methods
Altogether 219 healthy females aged 20–59 years volunteered to participate in the study. The IET was performed in the supine position and MIST seated. The reproducibility was evaluated by the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and an analysis described by Bland and Altman. The relationship between the two measuring methods was evaluated by Pearson's correlation coefficient.
Results
The mean (SD) IET time was 60 (33) seconds with no significant differences between the age groups of each decade. The ICC for intrarater repeatability was 0.80. However, the Bland-Altman analysis suggested moderate variation in repeated measurements. Pearson's correlation coefficient between the IET and MIST was 0.56.
Conclusion
Normative reference values for the IET are presented. Although the ICC showed good repeatability, one should consider that the change at follow-up visits has to be considerable to be clinically relevant. The correlation between the endurance time and maximal flexion strength was moderate. Thus IET of the cervical flexor muscles may be used in the clinic like the Biering-Sorenson test has been used to assess fatigue of the trunk extensor muscles.

Aging and strength training influence knee extensor intermuscular coherence during low- and high-force isometric contractions
Walker, Simon; Avela, Janne; Wikgren, Jan; Meeusen, Romain; Piitulainen, Harri; Baker, Stuart; Parviainen, Tiina (Frontiers Research Foundation, 2019)Aging is associated with reduced maximum force production and force steadiness during low-force tasks, but both can be improved by training. Intermuscular coherence measures coupling between two peripheral surface ... -
EMG and force production of the flexor hallucis longus muscle in isometric plantarflexion and the push-off phase of walking
Peter, Annamaria; Hegyi, Andras; Stenroth, Lauri; Finni Juutinen, Taija; Cronin, Neil (Pergamon; American Society of Biomechanics, 2015)Large forces are generated under the big toe in the push-off phase of walking. The largest flexor muscle of the big toe is the flexor hallucis longus (FHL), which likely contributes substantially to these forces. This study ... -
Use of deeper plantar flexor muscles in low torque isometric and concentric plantar flexion tasks
Oksanen, Hermanni (2016)Coordination of a task such as plantar flexion might seem simple, but is in reality achieved through the activation of several muscles—muscles that play an important role in locomotion and posture control. These can be ... -
Intrarater Reliability and Analysis of Learning Effects in the Y Balance Test
Kattilakoski, Olli; Kauranen, Noora; Leppänen, Mari; Kannus, Pekka; Pasanen, Kati; Vasankari, Tommi; Parkkari, Jari (MDPI AG, 2023)While the general reliability of the Y balance test has been previously found to be excellent, earlier reviews highlighted a need for a more consistent methodology between studies. The purpose of this test–retest intrarater ...
