Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Percent of Potential Participants Screened for the Study Who Are Enrolled

    Number of participants screened and enrolled divided by the total number of participants screened

    Baseline

  • Percentage of Enrolled Participants Retained at the End of the Study

    Number of participants who completed the study (baseline through 12 week assessments) divided by the total number of enrolled participants with baseline assessments

    Study completion (12 weeks)

Secondary Outcomes (19)

  • Average Number of Training Sessions Completed Per Week

    Weekly measures for 12 consecutive weeks

  • Total Number of Training Sessions Completed

    12 weeks

  • Total Number of Training Weeks Completed

    12 weeks

  • Change in Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Total Score From Baseline to 12 Weeks

    Baseline,12 weeks

  • Change in WOMAC Pain Subscale From Baseline to 12 Weeks

Study Arms (1)

Intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention consists of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) session which is af 3-5 minute warm up, followed by 10 repetitions of 1 minute bouts at individualized training intensity with 1 minute rest periods.

Behavioral: High intensity interval training (HIIT)

Interventions

Each training session for High Intensity Interval Training will consist of a 3-5 minute warm-up, followed by 10 repetitions of 1-minute bouts at individualized training intensity with 1-minute rest periods.

Eligibility Criteria

Age40 Years - 75 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • between the ages of 40 and 75 years old
  • body mass index of 18.5-50 kg/m²
  • exhibits symptomatic knee OA, defined as a diagnosis of knee OA, as identified from University of North Carolina electronic medical records, and current knee symptoms in at least one knee, having a minimum score of 6 out of 20 on the Western Ontario and McMasters Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain subscale.

You may not qualify if:

  • individuals diagnosed with a cardiovascular condition restricting exercise
  • individuals currently meeting Department of Health and Human Services Guidelines for physical activity (≥ 150 minutes per week
  • individuals currently doing HIIT
  • individuals currently participating in physical therapy for knee OA
  • individuals currently participating in another OA intervention study
  • received a corticosteroid or hyaluronic acid intra-articular injection in the knee during the previous 3 weeks or scheduled for during the intervention
  • diagnosis of gout in the knee
  • diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis
  • diagnosis of fibromyalgia
  • other systemic rheumatic disease
  • severe dementia or other memory loss
  • active diagnosis of psychosis or uncontrolled substance abuse disorder
  • hospitalization for a stroke, heart attack, or heart failure, or had surgery for blocked arteries in the past 3 months
  • total joint replacement knee surgery, other knee surgery, meniscus tear, or anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear in the past 6 months
  • on a waiting list for total joint replacement
  • +8 more criteria

Limitations and Caveats

This was a single arm study so it is not known how HIIT compares to other exercise approaches or interventions for the management of knee OA.
