Brief Summary: Female subjects over the age of 40 will be recruited and randomised into a progressive resistance training PRT or sham-exercise group The PRT group will train at 80 of their peak strength using Keiser pneumatic resistance machines and progress approximately 3 per session Strength will be re-assessed fortnightly Exercises will target muscles around the hip and knee The sham-exercise group will train on the same equipment as the PRT group except hip adduction but without added resistance or progression Both groups will train 3 days per week for roughly 45 minutes for 6 months

It is hypothesised that high intensity PRT will decelerate the tibial and femoral cartilage degeneration in the knee affected most by OA
