Rather than asking whether exercise works, this review maps how exercise has been prescribed and reported in randomized trials and identifies areas where the evidence remains unclear. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:10.5pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-justify:inter-ideograph&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:105%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size:12.0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:105%&quot;&gt;&lt;span cambria=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;font-family:&quot;&gt;Materials and Methods: A scoping review was undertaken using searches of PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink and Google Scholar, with no publication-year restriction. Adults with knee OA participating in randomized trials of exercise-based interventions were eligible. Data were charted using an adapted FITT-VP framework covering frequency, intensity, time, type, volume, progression and delivery characteristics. Findings were synthesized descriptively by exercise modality and prescription feature. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:10.5pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-justify:inter-ideograph&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:105%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size:12.0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:105%&quot;&gt;&lt;span cambria=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;font-family:&quot;&gt;Findings: Of 1,178 records identified, 87 studies were included. Strengthening, aquatic exercise, mind-body exercise and aerobic/walking programmes represented the main evidence clusters. Programmes ranged from brief home interventions to long-term supervised or hybrid programmes. Moderate and high resistance training, home exercise, aquatic exercise, walking, yoga, Tai Chi and Qigong were all associated with improvements in pain, function or related outcomes, but direct evidence for a single optimal dose was limited. Intensity, progression, adherence and intervention fidelity were inconsistently reported. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:10.5pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-justify:inter-ideograph&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:105%&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial,sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-size:12.0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height:105%&quot;&gt;&lt;span cambria=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;font-family:&quot;&gt;Conclusion: The literature supports exercise as a flexible intervention for knee OA rather than a single standardized dose. Patient preference, symptoms, comorbidity, access and adherence appear important when selecting a programme. Future trials should report exercise prescriptions in sufficient detail to allow replication and should test dose, progression and maintenance strategies more directly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
