Regular Running Is Related to the Knee Joint Cartilage Structure in Healthy Adults
Original language description
Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine whether regular running distance and biomechanics are related to medial central femur cartilage (MCFC) structure. Methods The cross-sectional study sample consisted of 1164 runners and non-runners aged 18-65 years. Participants completed questionnaires on physical activity and their running history. We performed quantitative magnetic resonance imaging of knee cartilage - T2 relaxation time (T2) mapping (high T2 indicate cartilage degeneration), and a running biomechanical analysis using a 3-D motion capture system. A 14-day monitoring of the physical activity was conducted. Results Those aged 35-49 years were at a 84% higher odds of having MCFC T2 in the highest level (85th percentile, P < 0.05) compared to youngest adults indicating that MCFC structures may be altered with ageing. Being male was associated with a 34% lower odds of having T2 at the highest level (P < 0.05) compared to females. Non-runners and runners with the highest weekly running distance were more likely to have a high T2 compared to runners with running distance of 6-20 km per week (P < 0.05). In addition, the maximal knee internal adduction moment was associated with a 19% lower odds of having T2 at the highest level (P < 0.05). Conclusions Female compared to males and a middle-aged cohort compared to the younger cohort appeared to be associated with the degeneration of MCFC structures. Runners who ran 6-20 km/week were associated with a higher quality of their MCFC compared to highly active individuals and non-runners. Knee frontal plane biomechanics was related to MCFC structure indicating a possibility of modifying the medial knee collagen fibril network through regular running.
