Secondary

Measure	Time frame
a) Subjective recovery after 1-year follow-up, measured on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from completely recovered to worse than ever. Patients are deemed to be recovered if they rate themselves as fully recovered or strongly recovered on the Likert scale, whereas those who rate themselves as slightly recovered to worse than ever are deemed to be not recovered. b) Pain at rest and during activity (NRS) c) Function (AFS) d) Return to sport e) Cost-effectiveness of the intervention f) Compliance of the intervention: Subjects are defined to be compliant to the intervention when they have completed at least 75% of the training sessions.	—
