If you regularly work out at a moderate or intensive level, you may be
concerned as many people are that exercise could "wear and tear" your knee
joints.
.
You can relax - new research published recently in the scientific journal
of the American College of Sports Medicine, the largest sports medicine
and exercise science organization in the world, shows that physical
activity is actually beneficial to your knees.
.
The main concern has always been that vigorous exercise could cause bony
spurs called osteophytes, an overgrowth of bone tissue which develops in
deteriorating joints and tendons. But these new findings clearly show that
physical activity, if done correctly, is not harmful to the knees.
.
According to the research, spurs may be the body's healthy response to
ongoing stimulation from physical activity. As a matter of fact, rather
than hurting the knees, exercise has been shown to cause fewer injuries to
the knee's cartilage, a flexible connective tissue found in joints between
bones.

From the Abstract
.
Results:
.
We found that the relationships between physical activity and
individual joint structures at the knee differ. There was strong evidence
for a positive association between physical activity and tibiofemoral
osteophytes. However, we also found strong evidence for the absence of a
relationship between physical activity and joint space narrowing, a
surrogate method of assessing cartilage. Moreover, there was limited
evidence from magnetic resonance imaging studies for a positive
relationship between physical activity and cartilage volume and strong
evidence for an inverse relationship between physical activity and
cartilage defects.
.
Conclusions:
.
This systematic review found that knee structures are
affected differently by physical activity. Although physical activity is
associated with an increase in radiographic osteophytes, there was no
related increase in joint space narrowing, rather emerging evidence of an
associated increase in cartilage volume and decrease in cartilage defects
on magnetic resonance imaging. Given that optimizing cartilage health is
important in preventing osteoarthritis, these findings indicate that
physical activity is beneficial, rather than detrimental, to joint health.
