Changes on magnetic resonance tomography in the knee joints of marathon runners
Skeletal Radiology, 06/30/2008
Wolfgang K et al. - Non-physiological maximal loads secondary to the marathon race do not cause any permanent damage in the internal structures of the knee joint in individuals without significant pre-existing damage. A disposition for premature arthrosis was not registered in the population investigated. A protective value of long distance running on the internal structures of the knee joint is discussed.
