  • Beschreibung: <jats:sec><jats:title>Objectives:</jats:title><jats:p> To identify effective aerobic exercise programs and provide clinicians and patients with updated, high-quality recommendations concerning traditional land-based exercises for knee osteoarthritis. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods:</jats:title><jats:p> A systematic search and adapted selection criteria included comparative controlled trials with strengthening exercise programs for patients with knee osteoarthritis. A panel of experts reached consensus on the recommendations using a Delphi survey. A hierarchical alphabetical grading system (A, B, C+, C, D, D+, or D-) was used, based on statistical significance ( P &lt; 0.5) and clinical importance (⩾15% improvement). </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:</jats:title><jats:p> The five high-quality studies included demonstrated that various aerobic training exercises are generally effective for improving knee osteoarthritis within a 12-week period. An aerobic exercise program demonstrated significant improvement for pain relief (Grade B), physical function (Grade B) and quality of life (Grade C+). Aerobic exercise in combination with strengthening exercises showed significant improvement for pain relief (3 Grade A) and physical function (2 Grade A, 2 Grade B). </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion:</jats:title><jats:p> A short-term aerobic exercise program with/without muscle strengthening exercises is promising for reducing pain, improving physical function and quality of life for individuals with knee osteoarthritis. </jats:p></jats:sec>
