Abstract

This is a preprint for a protocol. The purpose of the study described by the protocol was to investigate the effect of resistance exercise dose across multiple common tendinopathies (rotator cuff, lateral elbow, patellar or Achilles), where the frequency, volume and intensity can be accurately quantified. By combining a large data set with contemporary meta-analysis and meta-regression approaches (including relevant covariates within models), the systematic review attempted to explore statistical heterogeneity and better assess potential dose-response relationships that may exist. Where placebo and no-treatment arms were included, these studies were used to reduce heterogeneity and provide sensitivity analyses to support or refute analyses with larger, but more complex data.
