ACSM Guidelines for STRENGTH gains:

  • Voluntary contraction versus an external load – equipment or free weights
  • MINIMUM >40% 1RM corresponding to light or very light intensity
  • 2-4 sets
  • 8-12 repetitions
  • To contraction failure OR exhaustion
  • 2-3x/week

KEY Takeaways:

  1. Knee extensor muscle strengthening vs other exercise types

       -ACSM strengthening was found to be superior to non-ACSM strengthening

       -No significant difference between the two with regards to pain or disability

 

  1. Association between knee extensor strength gain and PAIN:

      -Minimum 30% strength increase required to decrease pain

 

      3. Association between knee extensor strength gain and DISABILITY:

      -Minimum 40% strength increase required to decrease disability
