Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	range of motion (active flexion and extension)	To evaluate the efficacy of collagen on knee joint flexibility as assessed by the change in the range of motion (active flexion and extension) using goniometry as compared to placebo.	from baseline Day 0 to end of study visit day 180
Secondary	range of motion knee joint flexibility	Change in the knee joint flexibility (Knee ROM Extension) as assessed by a range of motion (using goniometry) in the Collagen groups versus the other groups	from baseline (day 0) to end of study visit (day 180)
Secondary	Pain visual analog scale	Knee joint pain as assessed by Pain visual analog scale at the end of the stress exercise in Collagen groups versus the placebo and the Glucosamine & Chondroitin group.; 0 - No pain at all 100 - worst possible pain	from baseline (Day 0) to Day 5, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180
Secondary	Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score	Retrospective Joint Discomfort as assessed by the change in the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score as compared in the Collagen groups compared to placebo and Glucosamine & Chondroitin.; A Likert scale is used and all items have five possible answer options scored from 0 (No problems) to 4 (Extreme problems) and each of the five scores is calculated as the sum of the items included. Scores are transformed to a 0- 100 scale, with zero representing extreme knee problems and 100 representing no knee problems as common in orthopedic scales and generic measures. Scores between 0 and 100 represent the percentage of the total possible score achieved	from baseline (Day 0) (post-exercise) to follow up visit Day 5, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and day 180 (post-exercise)
Secondary	European Quality of Life Five Dimension five-level	Quality of life (QoL) as assessed by change in European Quality of Life Five Dimension five-level score as compared to the change into placebo and Glucosamine & Chondroitin groups Lower level is denoted as 1 and the highest level is denoted as 5	from baseline (Day 0) to the end of the study (day 180)
