Interventions
The intervention will be done by submitting the research groups (40 individuals - 20 control and 20 intervention) to an eight week program of isotonic resisted exercises. The GC will be maintained acc

Eligibility
Age
18 Years to 55 Years
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Will be included in the study patients of both genders, with different occupations, who practice physical activity at a recreational level, suffered the traumatic injury of the ACL and were submitted to primary reconstruction surgery using contralateral LP grafting (technique in which the graft of the limb opposite the injured). In order for the age group with the highest prevalence of lesions in the ACL (LARSON, 1994) to be respected, in addition to the exclusion of minors, everyone must be aged between 15 and 45 years.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Patients with a history of lesions and / or surgery in the knees prior to or after the injury that generated the clinical picture studied, and those who did not complete all stages of the study, will be excluded from the study.

|---|---|
| Improvement of muscle strength symmetry for knee extension and flexion movements, measured from the torque peak register (N m) of the knee concentric extension movement at 60 ° / s by means of the Biodex System 4 Pro® dynamometer , from the observation of a variation of at least 5% in the pre- and post-intervention measurements.;Improvement of muscle strength symmetry for knee extension and flexion movements, measured from the torque peak register (N m) of the knee concentric extension movement at 60 ° / s by means of the Biodex System 4 Pro® dynamometer , from the observation of a variation of at least 5% in the pre- and post-intervention measurements. | — |
