Summary

This study tests whether high-load resistance training (lifting heavy weights) reduces knee pain better than usual care in young adults aged 18-45 with hypermobile (loose) joints and persistent knee pain. About 90 participants will be randomly assigned to either a supervised heavy lifting program or standard care. The main goal is to see if the training group reports less pain during their most bothersome activity after 12 weeks.
