March 3, 2011 — Despite some previous research casting doubt on the value of physical activity for the knees, a new study says it’s beneficial for knee joint health.
Researchers in Australia say although it’s true that exercise has been linked to bony spurs called osteophytes, physical activity in general is good for the knees.
“Several studies have already examined the impact of physical activity on the knee as a whole, but none [has] looked at the effect of physical activity on individual parts of the knee,” Flavia Cicuttini, PhD, one of the researchers, says in a statement.
Cicuttini, of the Baker Heart Research Institute and Monash University in Melbourne, says “exercise affects each part of the knee differently, which helps explain why there have been conflicting reports for so long.”
Osteoarthritis: Exercises for OA of the Knee
Study Based on Data for Nearly 10,000 People
The research team, led by Cicuttini and Donna Urquhart, PhD, also of Monash University, examined data from 28 studies containing information on 9,737 people from all over the world.
All the studies examined the relationship between physical activity and knee osteoarthritis. Studies als

In this study, we want to learn how intuition and gut feelings effect the everyday lives of adolescents.
The ability to feel change in the body is different from person to person. We want to know how these differences in adolescents relate to the intensity of their emotions and the ability to make complex decisions.
We will be using MRIs, saliva samples, questionnaires, and lab games to see how adolescents vary in their ability to sense their bodies.
Eligibility Requirements
You may qualify for the study if your child is female, between the ages of 10 and 17, and you and your child are both fluent in English.
We are looking for both healthy children (children without a mental or physical health condition) and children who have been currently or previously diagnosed with anorexia nervosa.
Study Requirements
This study has three parts and may require up to three study days.
