Physiotherapy. 2013 Jun;99(2):126-31. doi: 10.1016/j.physio.2012.05.009. Epub 2012 Jul 2442 patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) were randomized to receive high-dose, high-repetition exercise therapy or low-dose, low-repetition exercise therapy, to compare the impact of the exercise regimens on pain and function.
