Improve the quality of life related to the KOA symptoms, reducing at least 22% in the total score of the WOMAC questionnaire, which means the minimal clinically significant difference.—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Weight loss of at least 5% after 16 weeks of intervention, which is the recommendation of the Osteoarthritis Research International Society. ;Improve 15% of the maximal strength of the knee extensors and flexor muscles, assessed in the isokinetic dynamometer (biodex) after 16 weeks of the intervention. ;Improve functional performance by increasing at least two points in the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) score that varies from 0 - 12 points after 16 weeks of the intervention.—
