@MikeCunningham@ZCupples Likely you have retroverted hips so your natural/normal position is to turn out. Trying to turn in won’t help and could cause problems. It is how you are built. No exercise will help. Ignore it and just go with it!!
A 2023 study sheds light on the impact of running on knee health.
📊 The study, involving 7,194 runners and 6,947 non-runners, has revealed intriguing findings on knee osteoarthritis development.
🔴 Runners:
Average age: 56 years, Follow-up: 56 months
🆚
🔵 Non-Runners:
Average age: 62 years, Follow-up: 100 months
📈 Results:
A. Non-runners experienced more knee pain compared to runners.
B. Despite one study indicating a higher prevalence of osteophytes in runners, overall, no significant difference was found in knee osteoarthritis or cartilage thickness on MRI.
C. The progression to knee replacement due to osteoarthritis was lower in runners (2.6%) compared to non-runners (4.6%).
🏁 Conclusion:
Running does not worsen knee osteoarthritis signs in the short term and might even act as a protective factor against knee pain.
