Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Baseline knee joint cartilage thickness and muscles thicknesses | Just before first exercises session | Ultrasonographic measurements will be made using linear probes (5-13 megahertz Logiq P5; GE Medical Systems) .Joint cartillage thickness and lower extremity muscles will measured by ultrasound at baseline. |
| Knee cartilage thickness and muscles thicknesses after 6 weeks training program | After 6 weeks training program | Ultrasonographic measurements will be made using linear probes (5-13 megahertz Logiq P5; GE Medical Systems) .Joint cartillage and lower extremity muscles will measured by ultrasound after 6 weeks training program. Joint cartillage thickness and lower extremity muscles will measured by ultrasound after 6 weeks. |
