SadaNews – The website “Abonit.de” reported that individuals suffering from knee osteoarthritis often experience pain, limited movement, as well as swelling and a grinding sound, noting that exercise can significantly alleviate symptoms.<\/p>\n
The site, which serves as the official portal for German pharmacists, added that a new analysis of international studies shows that endurance sports such as walking, swimming, and cycling are not only safe but also the most effective in relieving pain.<\/p>\n
Broad Review<\/p>\n
A research team confirmed this through a broad review; researchers analyzed 217 studies published between 1990 and 2024, involving over 15,000 affected individuals, and identified a variety of sports treatments, namely:<\/p>\n
– Endurance training (aerobic training).<\/p>\n
– Flexibility training.<\/p>\n
– Muscle strengthening training.<\/p>\n
– Neuromuscular exercises to improve coordination and balance.<\/p>\n
– Mixed training.<\/p>\n
The team examined the extent of improvement in pain, joint function, walking performance, and quality of life. Participants’ conditions were assessed after 4 weeks (short-term effects), 12 weeks (medium-term effects), and 24 weeks (long-term effects).<\/p>\n
Analysis Results<\/p>\n
The analysis yielded the following results:<\/p>\n
– Endurance sports such as walking, swimming, and cycling had a positive impact on pain, walking performance, and quality of life even in the short term, followed by an improvement in joint function.<\/p>\n
– Muscle strengthening training and their combination: both had a positive effect on joint function in the medium term.<\/p>\n
– Neuromuscular exercises: showed improvement in walking performance in the short term.<\/p>\n
Safety was also addressed; one analysis confirmed the good safety profile of exercise therapy, with no increase in side effects compared to the control group.<\/p>\n
It is worth noting that knee osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative disease that occurs due to wear and tear in the knee joint.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SadaNews – The website “Abonit.de” reported that individuals suffering from knee osteoarthritis often experience pain, limited movement, as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":235921,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[49,48,407,84,111576,111575,111577,85935,104398,107460,64897],"class_list":["post-235920","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fitness","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-fitness","tag-health","tag-111576","tag-111575","tag-111577","tag-85935","tag-104398","tag-107460","tag-64897"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235920","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=235920"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235920\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/235921"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=235920"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=235920"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=235920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
