Efficacy of different exercise parameters among men with Achilles tendinopathy: a randomised pilot and feasibility trial

Primary feasibility outcomes (recruitment and retention rate, exercise adherence and fidelity [i.e. time-under-tension, volume, load intensity], incidence of adverse events, health care use and productivity cost) were collected weekly. Another limitation related to including only men is that our fea...

Description
Summary:Primary feasibility outcomes (recruitment and retention rate, exercise adherence and fidelity [i.e. time-under-tension, volume, load intensity], incidence of adverse events, health care use and productivity cost) were collected weekly. Another limitation related to including only men is that our feasibility and pilot data (including the sample size estimate) may not extrapolate to women and this needs to be considered carefully in planning a full-scale powered trial. [...]although the outcome assessor was blinded to treatment allocation, participants and physiotherapists providing care via telehealth were not, so there is the risk of performance and detection bias.
