Effect of Exercise on Muscle Activity, Strength, and Balance in People With Knee Osteoarthritis

Les Mills Thrive is a 45-minute class that consists of flexibility, strength, and coordination exercises. This program aims to improve sensorimotor control and strength via functional weight-bearing exercises and floor exercises to isolate targeted hip and core muscles. In each class (whether in person or online), a certified Les Mills Thrive instructor will provide options to either increase or decrease the intensity of each exercise to cater to varying fitness levels and fluctuating symptoms. Each exercise has an assisted (using a chair for balance), body weight, and resisted (weight or exercise tubing) option. Participants will have the option to attend group fitness classes or do the classes asynchronously at home using a link to access a recorded class.
