WHAT IT FOUND

There is no trial result to report.

This paper is a clinical commentary arguing that cardiopulmonary fitness declines after ACL reconstruction and should be assessed and trained alongside strength and movement. It offers expert recommendations, not tested interventions.

What this paper is

This is a clinical commentary describing how to consider the cardiopulmonary system during rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. It reviews physiological changes and suggests assessment and training strategies, but it does not present new data from a study of patients, so there are no trial results to act on.
