Purpose:  This study aimed to investigate the effects of a pre-hip arthroscopy exercise intervention on hip strength, pain, and function in individuals with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI).  Methods:  A total of 20 individuals with FAI completed a 10-week, partially supervised exercise programme; this included three phases of increasing resistance and functionality, consisting of four to six exercises per phase. Hip strength in all six directions; hip pain; function, as measured by the Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS); and objective physical function, as measured by the Timed Stair Climb test, were determined before and after the intervention.  Results:  Maximum isometric hip strength significantly increased in abduction ( p =0.008), adduction ( p =0.021), and internal rotation ( p =0.006) at follow-up. Increases in flexion, extension, and external rotation strength did not reach statistical significance. Self-reported HOOS pain ( p &lt;0.01) and activities of daily living sub-scale scores ( p &lt;0.01) significantly improved at follow-up. Timed Stair Climb times ( p &lt;0.001) also significantly decreased at follow-up.  Conclusion:  A 10-week exercise programme can be safely completed by adults with FAI before surgery, and statistically significant changes in strength, function, and self-reported clinical outcomes can be achieved.
