The main objective is to compare the effectiveness of two readaptation programs post anterior cruciate ligament surgery. Laval University Rouge et or program is to be compared with the intervention guide from the CHU. Amateur athletes are recruited 3 months post ACL surgery. The level of confidence, symptoms, functional recovery level and muscle strength are assessed and compared between the two groups at 3, 4, 5, 6 and 9-month post surgery.
It is experimental research with pre-post repeated measure with a control group. The subjects are randomised either in the intervention group (Gr PRORO-UL) or the control group (Gr CHU-CP). The assessor is blinded to the randomisation. Both groups receive their program at the first assessment at three months post-ACL-surgery. They are strongly encouraged to continue their follow-up in physiotherapy to ensure the program is suitable to their individual progression. The participants are assessed again at 4, 5, 6 and 9 months post surgery to measure their progression. A weekly journal sent by e-mail is to be filled to ensure the subjects train according to their program attribution. It is a randomised control trial with a blinded assessor.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rouge et Or program | Experimental | Rouge et Or program group follow a detailed program that they do on their own. It is made of three cycles of four weeks each. Every cycle contains 3 training sessions by week with a minimum of 24 hours between sessions. The training volume is modulated for every cycle and every week. Each training sessions is made of 6 warm-up exercises followed by 6 training exercises. The exercises are a mix of strengthening, endurance, plyometric, neuromuscular control and dynamic stability. The exercises change every month with a progressively increasing difficulty towards the end to mimic return to sport demands. |
|
| CHU intervention guide | Active Comparator | CHU intervention guide group follow the standard CHU protocol. At three months post-surgery, the protocol suggests progressing the exercises without precisely suggesting exercise, parameter or frequency. |

| Change in Knee Outcome Survey-Activity of Daily Living Scale | Questionnaire ranging from 0 to 70 over 70 where 70 means no limitation in activity of daily living. There is 14 questions with each graded answer providing 0 to 5 points that are summed together and expressed in percentage. The higher is the score, the better is the outcome. | 3, 4, 5, 6 and 9 months post-surgery |

| Single leg hop test. | The single-leg hop test is performed barefoot. The subjects are asked to jump as far as possible on one leg and to land keeping their balance. Measurement is made from the starting line to the place where the heel lands. The subjects must start behind the line. They perform one practice and three trials. The best trial is kept. The healthy limb is tested first followed by the injured leg. | 3 months post-surgery |
