Running (jogging) helps to safeguard the health of the knee joint

 Studies have revealed that jogging can protect the knee joint health and even it postpones the start of joint degeneration diseases such as osteoporosis.

 The new study of researchers at Brigham Young University in Utah America shows daily running can maintain the healthy bones and joints. Contrary to popular belief, the researchers believe that running reduces the inflammation in the knee joints and slows the progression toward the osteoporosis.

Mat Sully, the leader of this research team said: "This belief that long distance running is bad for the knees is just a legend".

In this study, researchers were measured the signs of inflammation in the synovial fluid of knee in several healthy men and women aged 18 to 35 years before and after running. They found some specific signs that they were looking for in liquids extracted of Knee (two cytokines known as GM-CSF and IL-15) were dropped in the terms of concentration in the participants after 30 minutes of running.

Until liquids were extracted after and before running conditions, the signs of inflammation had remained the same.

The results of this research indicate that in the case of young and health people, exercise causes the inflammatory environment that can be beneficial in the long term for joint health.

Even the results show that exercise can delay the beginning of degenerative joint diseases such as osteoporosis.
