Overview
Brief Summary
Negative outcomes impact individuals with a history of ACL reconstruction (ACLR) despite completion of formal rehabilitation and clearance to return to physical activity (PA). Focused exercises and targeted health education may improve these negative outcomes and increase quality of life. The purpose of this study is determine the effects of an 8-week rehabilitation program on strength, sensorimotor function, functional performance and patient-reported outcomes in patients with a history of ACLR. A secondary aim will be to identify baseline PA levels and dietary intake patterns in these individuals. Participants will complete standard knee radiographs and all baseline measures, and resume normal activities of daily living for one-week while wearing an accelerometer to quantify PA levels and complete two, 24-hour dietary recalls to examine dietary patterns. After one-week, participants will come back to the laboratory and complete the pre-intervention assessments prior to randomization to the exercise or control group. After 8-weeks, participants will complete all outcome assessments 24-48 hours, 1-month and 3-months post exercise completion. The investigators hypothesize the intervention group will have significantly better outcomes post-intervention compared to the control group. In addition, the investigators hypothesize areas of educational and behavioral intervention related to PA engagement and dietary strategies to support weight management will be needed.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in Joint Specific Self-Reported Function
Time Frame: Baseline, pre-intervention (one week later just prior to the initiation of the intervention), 24-48 hours post-intervention, 1-month and 3-months post
Participants will complete the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome (KOOS) survey to assess self-reported knee joint function across five domains (pain, symptoms, activities of daily living, sport and recreation, and quality of life). The questionnaire will include 42 questions across the domains, that are scored on a 5-point Likert scale. Each subscale is scored separately, and range from 0-100 (100=perfect self-reported knee function). The scores are transformed for each subscale as follows: 100-(actual raw score x 100)/ possible raw score. Participants will complete the survey at the time of consent, one week later just prior to the initiation of the intervention, up to 48 hours after completion of the intervention, then at 1 and 3 month follow up visits. Data will be presented longitudinally as the change in self-reported function over the duration of the study, up to three months.

- Change in General Health-Related Quality of Life(Baseline, pre-intervention (one week later just prior to the initiation of the intervention), 24-48 hours post-intervention, 1-month and 3-months post)
- Change in Fear of Movement(Baseline, pre-intervention (one week later just prior to the initiation of the intervention), 24-48 hours post-exercise completion, 1-month post, 3-months post)
- Change in Dynamic Balance(Baseline, pre-intervention (one week later just prior to the initiation of the intervention), 24-48 hours post-intervention, 1-month and 3-months post)
