  1. aMean (SD), bmedian (quartiles), BMI; body mass index. The Tegner Activity Scale, ranges from 0 to 10, least to hardest strenuous activity for the knee. A Tegner activity level of 4 is equal to recreational sports such as jogging, aerobics, or cross-country skiing and a Tegner activity level of 5 is equal to recreational sports such as orienteering or down-hill skiing.
