STUDIU: Joggingul ar putea ajuta persoanele care suferă de artrită

A study involving nearly 18,000 osteoarthritis patients found that those who continued high-impact exercises like jogging or tennis were less likely to need joint replacements. Researchers suggest that maintaining such activities may provide physical, mental, and social benefits, challenging the common advice to switch to low-impact exercises. Participants reported their physical activity levels, and those engaging in high-impact activities had a significantly lower chance of requiring hip replacements. However, the study indicates an association rather than a definitive cause-and-effect relationship, as less severe cases of osteoarthritis may allow for continued high-impact exercise.
