Researchers explored the relationship between lifelong strength training and symptomatic/structural knee osteoarthritis outcomes. Individuals with a history of strength training have a lower prevalence of frequent knee pain, radiographic knee OA, and symptomatic OA.
Adults with a history of strength training were significantly less likely to suffer from knee osteoarthritis and knee pain than were those with no strength training.
Researchers examined participants aged 50 years or older with knee osteoarthritis, to assess the association between walking for exercise and symptomatic and structural progression.
