Conditions
Interventions
This is a two-arm, evaluator-blind, randomized controlled clinical trial. Exercise program in a circuit-type protocol that will be delivered in groups or individually. Participants will be divided int
and the Control Group, which will receive individual training (GC, n=30). The exercise program will consist of 26 specific exercises for the population with knee osteoarthritis. The protocol will last

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to find a reduction in pain intensity, assessed using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) questionnaire, with a reduction of at least 2 points (10%) in the score. Data collected one week before the intervention, at the end of the intervention and four weeks after the intervention. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to find an improvement in self-reported physical function, assessed using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) questionnaire, with a reduction in the score. Data collected one week before the intervention, at the end of the intervention and four weeks after the intervention.;It is expected to find an improvement in health-related quality of life (HRQoL), assessed using the Short Form-12 (SF-12) instrument, with a reduction of at least 2.7 points in the score. Data collected one week before the intervention, at the end of the intervention and four weeks after the intervention.;It is expected to find an improvement in physical function, evaluated through the test of sitting and standing from a chair in 30 seconds with an increase of 2 to 3 repetitions. Data collected one week before the intervention and at the end of the intervention.;It is expected to find an improvement in physical function, assessed through the 40-meter fast walk test with an increase of 0.2 to 0.3 meters per second in the speed of the test. Data collected one week before the intervention and at the end of the intervention.;It is expected to find an improvement in physical function, assessed through the sit and stand test with a reduction in the number of supports used for the test. Data collected one week before the intervention and at the end of the intervention.;It is expected to find a reduction in the use of supportive analgesic medication, evaluated by recording in a diary the amount of 500 mg paracetamol tablet ingested in the period.
