Medial knee cartilage is unlikely to withstand a lifetime of running without positive adaptation: a theoretical biomechanical model of failure phenomena
Even with generous assumptions in natural healing of cartilage, It's ~impossible to simulate a lifetime of even moderate running (3k/day, slow speed) without developing structural osteoarthritis unless cartilage adaptation is also modeled. (4/5)

My favorite thing about this study is ~12 years after doing it I’ve changed my mind about it (https://t.co/5FZQA3ApDS). Wouldn’t have had second idea without the first idea though. I think it’s a good example of how it’s okay to not always be right or to change your mind. https://t.co/bEFeD0tKOh
@BasVanHooren We got n ~ 13 here (first link), using data from the second link:

To my knowledge there are no data on the fatigue-life of human lower limb articular cartilage under compressive loading; someone should make some!
@BiomechMax @jesjamdub Here's our most recent thing on this.
There's not much evidence that "recreational" running increases OA risk. There is evidence that elites have greater risk. Would be interesting to study recs who run elite volumes/intensities (if such people exist).

Consider knee arthritis in runners. A new model shows that if you start running at age 23 and put in less than two miles a day, there’s a 98 percent chance that your knees will fail by the age of 55. Thing is, this doesn’t actually happen in real life.

Take that! This August 2020 study reveals that running doesn't wreck your knees. "Medial knee cartilage is unlikely to withstand a lifetime of running without positive adaptation" https://t.co/AUyu28mAUR
The prevalence of running-related injuries in general is another example of Daniel Lieberman's dysevolution. From that perspective, the study results (https://t.co/On5Lx5KLxp) should not be surprising. #running
