In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Muscle qualities are critical for the recovery after an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Before ACL reconstruction (ALCR), resistance training aims to maintain patient strength and volume in order to optimize recovery. Unanswered questions remain on the modalities of resistance training before ACLR. This protocol details a pragmatic clinical trial that primary aims to increase the maximal strength of knee extensors and flexors and to induce hypertrophy before ACLR. Participants awaiting ACLR will be recruited from outpatient rehabilitation clinics and will be randomly allocated to one group to attend a 9-weeks rehabilitation program before ACLR. Participants of 'resistance training' group will perform a training program built on the principles of strength training to increase knee muscles strength and volume. Three blocks of 3 weeks will induce a progressive increase in training
