This study is looking at how practical it is to offer two different exercise programs to people with knee osteoarthritis (a condition where the cartilage in your knee joint wears down). You could be eligible if you are between 45 and 79 years old, have a clinical diagnosis of primary, early to moderate stage knee osteoarthritis, and a body mass index (BMI) under 35 kg/m2. The study aims to see how easy it is to recruit participants. There are two groups: one does an exercise program with two 45-minute rest periods, and the other does the same exercise program with minimal rest. Both groups exercise three times a week for 12 weeks. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 20 participants.

Study design

This is a pilot randomized trial where participants are randomly assigned to one of two exercise groups. It plans to enroll 20 participants.

What's involved

You would exercise three times a week for 12 weeks. Before and after the exercise programs, you would have assessments including gait analysis, MRI scans of your knees, muscle strength tests, physical performance tests, questionnaires, and blood and synovial fluid collection.
