The benefits of regular exercise in reducing cardiovascular morbidity and diabetes are well accepted. What is more vexing is whether exercise, especially running, has a deleterious effect on the joints, particularly of the lower limb. From the available evidence, recreational running does not appear to lead to premature development of osteoarthritis. However, there may be a risk in elite athletes related to the type of sport and intensity of training, and previous joint injury certainly increases the risk for subsequent development of osteoarthritis.
