Effects of Progressive Resistance Exercises Among Athletes With Hamstring Deficit After ACL Reconstruction
Sponsor: Riphah International University
Summary
The goal of the study is to find out how mild home exercises (similar to usual care) and progressive strength training, which include neuromuscular exercise, affected knee joint function and HS muscle strength in individuals who has persistent HS muscle strength deficits 12-24 months after ACLR.

Conditions
Interventions
Supervised progressive strength training including elements of neuromuscular exercise intervention (SNG)
Participants will be randomized to SNG and will perform training sessions (60-70 minutes) twice weekly, over a duration of 12 weeks, commencing 8 exercises for the lower extremities in 3 sets of 10 repetitions with an intensity of 12 repetitions maximum. Individual progression, quality of exercise, number of sets, repetitions, and additional training weights will be monitored
home based low-intensity weight-bearing exercise protocol.
Participants allocated to CON will receive written and verbal instructions regarding 4 home-based (low intensity), weight-bearing exercises for the lower extremities, to be performed twice weekly. This intervention is designed to resemble usual care in cases where persistent knee muscle strength deficits would be discovered and considered a clinical issue.
