.

However, it is a fact that most runners significantly reduce or give up running because of fear of pain or further joint degeneration

.

.

Runners should consult professionals (experienced professionals who often deal with various problems of runners) in time and get reasonable suggestions suitable for their own situation

.

There are great differences in the amount of safe running that each individual can self manage based on some important factors, including the current physical condition, running experience and injury history 8.9.10.11

.

This issue introduces people’s misunderstanding of knee joint injury caused by running

.

.

More and more studies have shown that compared with non runners, both amateur runners and marathon runners can produce knee joint protection and prevent the occurrence of knee arthritis

.

The effect of running on patients with knee arthritis is not clear

.

.

Therefore, there is no doubt that running is a good way to improve health

.

Only in this way can we run further and longer

Knee arthritis, characterized by pain and significantly reduced quality of life, has nothing to do with running, plus other well-known benefits of running, which is a good thing for most runners

.

Yes, the most common overuse injury site among runners is knee joint 6, but more and more studies show that running (at least amateur running) is not directly related to the occurrence and development of knee arthritis

.

In conclusion, from the current research, we can safely conclude that running is not harmful to the knee joint

.

What we want to say is, please do this

.

Despite the potential benefits, running is often seen by the general public as detrimental to knee health

.

Recent systematic studies show that the incidence rate of knee osteoarthritis among amateur runners is 3.5%, significantly lower than that of 10.2%1 in non runners

.

However, further research is needed

.

Due to the limited space, the references are omitted

.

Although the benefits of running are obvious, runners are often asked the question: “why do you run so much? Aren’t you afraid to hurt your knee? ” Long distance running and repeated movement of the knee joint is bound to cause the accumulation of stress on the knee joint, which is why you understand that people always ask and believe in injuries

.

This is a series of articles on misunderstanding of running published by the sports medicine research center of Latrobe University, a well-known physical therapy research institution in Australia in 2019

.

Also important are other individual factors, including older age, overweight and a history of knee injury, which can predict an individual’s risk of developing knee arthritis

.

If there are the above-mentioned risk factors and in case of knee arthritis, runners should consult professionals with rich experience in dealing with runners’ problems and get reasonable suggestions suitable for their own situation

.

The crux of the problem is that the amount of exercise each individual can bear varies greatly, and is affected by many factors, including past or current knee pain

.

Text running is the most popular sport in the world, and tens of millions of people take it as a way to exercise

.

Whether it is to return to running after injury or to reduce the risk of future injury, it is very important to carefully manage the running stress, running skills and strength training

.

The specific reason is still unclear, whether it is because running helps relieve pain or some people are better at managing pain

.

Therefore, the research on the amount and intensity of running with knee arthritis still needs to continue for 5 years

.

In fact, runners with knee arthritis have better pain relief than non runners

.

In addition, in the long run, amateur level running can improve knee joint health and function 1, 7, 8, 9, 10

.

So far, only one study has looked at patients who have pain or disability due to knee arthritis but continue to run

.

Compared with other sports, the threshold of running is 2

.

Runners should understand that previous knee injury, history of knee surgery, overweight, older age and heavy physical labor may be risk factors for knee arthritis

.

There was no evidence of aggravation of knee arthritis in people over 50 years old who still chose to run with knee arthritis

.

The data also show that running can reduce the risk of premature death by 25-40%, and the life expectancy of runners is 3-2 years higher than that of non runners

.

These risk factors in the occurrence of knee arthritis in runners are clear conclusions

.

Running regularly can bring many benefits not only physically but also mentally

.

However, the so-called optimal amount of exercise (including intensity, frequency, etc.) to maximize knee joint health is still unclear, which needs further study

.

Participants in the study included runners who had participated in at least five marathons and runners who currently run at least 16 km a week

.

1? Although it is clear that regular exercise can bring a lot of benefits to the management of knee arthritis, there are few studies on the benefits of running after the diagnosis of knee arthritis

.

Although amateur level running has the protective effect of preventing knee arthritis, the ideal running speed, duration and frequency of optimizing knee joint health are still unclear

.

Another recent study shows that the risk of knee arthritis is low among marathon athletes

.

Other studies have shown that regular running can prevent 35 chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke and depression

.

Studies have shown that running does not aggravate the process of knee arthritis, but reduces symptoms

.

Similarly, the study also showed that the risk of osteoarthritis of professional runners (such as the top international events) who participated in various professional competitions after more than 15 years of training was almost the same as that of non runners (13.3%)

.

It is not only easy to get started, but also very convenient, so it is deeply loved by the public

.

.

As for how much reasonable exercise is beneficial to improve knee joint health, it is not clear

.

What does this mean for runners? It is obvious that although running with excessive amount of exercise may increase the risk of knee arthritis, regular amateur runners or even marathon runners can prevent the occurrence of knee arthritis due to their protective effect

.

It is not clear to the general public and medical professionals whether people with knee arthritis continue to run to accelerate the disease process

.

Even professional athletes who are more than 15 years old and participate in high-level sports (such as major international running events) have the same risk of knee arthritis as non runners
