Abstract
Abstract In recent years, physical disuse has been presented as one of the perpetuating factors for chronicity in theoretical research models on pain (Hasenbring et al. 1994; Vlaeyen et al. 1995a). Disuse, or a decreased level of physical activity in daily life, would lead to physical deconditioning or an extremely low level of physical fitness.

However, inactivity has not only become a topic in chronic pain management, but also in general medicine.
