A Strategic Approach to Knee Arthritis Treatment: Knee Osteoarthritis and Sports [There is much evidence to support the claim that regular exercise improves general health, and some activities are deemed to have beneficial effects for joints by increasing the circulation of synovial fluid and maintaining peri-articular muscle strength. However, in spite of such positive effects of exercise, there is some concern that increased participation in physical activity or sports can increase the incidence of osteoarthritis in the lower extremity joints. Although normal healthy joints can withstand repetitive loading during daily activities without the occurrence of osteoarthritis, long-term repetitive loading that exceeds the articular cartilage tolerance can play an important role in the occurrence or aggravation of osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is characterized by pain and impaired function and is a common chronic disease that has significant effects on one’s quality of life.

In order to evaluate the correlation between physical activity or sports and osteoarthritis, various factors including age, types, and intensity of physical activity or sports participation, duration of the physical activity or sports participation, and joint injury history, etc. must be considered together.

Abstract

[There is much evidence to support the claim that regular exercise improves general health, and some activities are deemed to have beneficial effects for joints by increasing the circulation of synovial fluid and maintaining peri-articular muscle strength. However, in spite of such positive effects of exercise, there is some concern that increased participation in physical activity or sports can increase the incidence of osteoarthritis in the lower extremity joints. Although normal healthy joints can withstand repetitive loading during daily activities without the occurrence of osteoarthritis, long-term repetitive loading that exceeds the articular cartilage tolerance can play an important role in the occurrence or aggravation of osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is characterized by pain and impaired function and is a common chronic disease that has significant effects on one’s quality of life. Although various factors such as age, gender, physical trauma, and genetics have been reported as risk factors for osteoarthritis, the correlation between physical activity and sports with osteoarthritis is not yet clear. In order to evaluate the correlation between physical activity or sports and osteoarthritis, various factors including age, types, and intensity of physical activity or sports participation, duration of the physical activity or sports participation, and joint injury history, etc. must be considered together. In this chapter, the effects of physical activity or sports participation on the onset of knee osteoarthritis will be described in the context of relevant published literature.]
