Conditions
Interventions
resisted exercise using sand bags,resistance machines and elastic bands
Rehabilitative exercise training will be performed as previously described. All exercises will be performed using free weights, elastic bands and variable-resistance machines. Modifications to exercises will be made when appropriate depending on the patient injury characteristics. The load will be gradually increased from 50-60% of 3RM at the beginning of the program up to 80-85% of 3RM (repetitions maximum) at the end of the program. All exercise sessions will be preceded by a 5-minute warm-up at \<50% VO2peak. No strength training activities will be permitted outside the supervised training session; however, both groups will be encouraged to maintain normal daily activities
