At least one of the following factors must exist before it can be said that, on the balance of probabilities, iliotibial band syndrome or death from iliotibial band syndrome is connected with the circumstances of a person's relevant service:
(1)          running or jogging an average of at least 60 kilometres per week for at least the four weeks before the clinical onset of iliotibial band syndrome;
(2)          undertaking weight bearing exercise involving repeated flexion and extension of the affected knee, at a minimum intensity of five METs for at least six hours per week, for at least the four weeks before the clinical onset of iliotibial band syndrome;
Note: MET is defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.
(3)          increasing the frequency, duration or intensity of weight bearing activity involving the affected knee by at least 100 percent, to a minimum intensity of five METs for at least four hours per day, for at least the seven days before the clinical onset of iliotibial band syndrome;
Note: MET is defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.
(4)          cycling at a minimum intensity of five METs for at least ten hours per week, for at least the four weeks before the clinical onset of iliotibial band syndrome;
Note: MET is defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.
(5)          increasing the frequency, duration or intensity of cycling by at least 100 percent, to a minimum intensity of five METs for at least four hours per day, for at least the seven days before the clinical onset of iliotibial band syndrome;
Note: MET is defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.
(6)          undergoing knee reconstruction surgery with placement of an implant in the distal lateral femur within the one year before the clinical onset of iliotibial band syndrome;
(7)          running or jogging an average of at least 60 kilometres per week for at least the four weeks before the clinical worsening of iliotibial band syndrome;
(8)          undertaking weight bearing exercise involving repeated flexion and extension of the affected knee, at a minimum intensity of five METs for at least six hours per week, for at least the four weeks before the clinical worsening of iliotibial band syndrome;
Note: MET is defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.
(9)          increasing the frequency, duration or intensity of weight bearing activity involving the affected knee by at least 100 percent, to a minimum intensity of five METs for at least four hours per day, for at least the seven days before the clinical worsening of iliotibial band syndrome;
Note: MET is defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.
