Does Higher Compliance With American College of Sports Medicine Exercise Prescription Guidelines Influence Exercise Outcomes in Knee Osteoarthritis? A Systematic Review With Meta‐Analysis
Authors' conclusion
Higher or lower compliance with ACSM exercise prescription guidelines did not influence exercise outcomes.
Study context
- Population
- RCTs of resistance and/or aerobic exercise for knee osteoarthritis (OA)
- Comparison
- Higher vs lower compliance with American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) exercise prescription guidelines
- Outcome
- Pain and function
Methodological detailsstratified by compliance with ACSM guidelines
- Stratified by compliance with ACSM guidelines
Pooled result
As reported in the abstract
Pain, combined resistance and aerobic programs (25 trials, 3,290 participants)
| Group | SMD | 95% CI |
|---|---|---|
| Higher compliance | −0.38 | −0.59 to −0.17 |
| Lower compliance | −0.31 | −0.45 to −0.16 |
SMD
Higher compliance−0.38
Lower compliance−0.31
95% CI
Higher compliance−0.59 to −0.17
Lower compliance−0.45 to −0.16

Pain, resistance exercise (66 trials, 5,231 participants)
- No differences between higher and lower compliance
Pain, aerobic exercise (12 trials, 958 participants)
- No differences between higher and lower compliance
