Impact of Different Exercise Intensities on Progression of Knee Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review

Background: Exercise therapy is a core non-pharmacological treatment for knee osteoarthritis (OA), yet uncertainty remains regarding the comparative long-term effects of moderate-to-vigorous versus low-intensity exercise on pain and functional outcomes. This systematic review examined the existing evidence to determine...
