I donīt think so! I think you can damage the joint doing improper movements of bad done, like extenuating Tae bo I had 2 patients like that... but on the other hand as much you excersise the joint is lubricated and protected!

but sure nadiabarati. they are prone to more ligamental and joint injuries than rest of the population. that is why there isa lot of hype about trainer shoes etc etc. there is a lot of force translated up the ankle, knee hip and spine from running. if they do it long enough, they will develpe OA earlier than the regular population. yes the joints are lubricated with exercise but how about the impact on the cartilage which is wear and tear?

i think tolito's addressed the arthiritis pretty well..wud like to comment that prolonged running predisposes to stress fractures too.

A certain amount of exercise helps to protect the cartilage by better diffusion and better supply of oxygen and nutrients. It also stimulates the cartilage to maintain its structure.
So exercise is not totally bad for the cartilage its the kind and amount of exercise that matters. At all I think people that run three times a week for 1 hour with proper technique and without any misalignments in their joints will more likely to be protected from OA.
