Group-based versus individual-based circuit training in elderly women with knee osteoarthritis: study protocol for a non-inferiority randomized controlled trial

Key Points

• The aim is to compare the effectiveness of group-based versus individual-based circuit training in elderly women with knee osteoarthritis.
• Non-inferiority randomized controlled trial design
• Involves elderly women diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis
• Participants randomized to receive either group-based or individual-based circuit training
• Assessment of functional outcomes related to knee health
• Anticipated improvements in knee function and overall fitness levels
• Group-based training expected to be non-inferior to individual-based training
• Findings will guide future exercise recommendations for knee osteoarthritis
