About this trial

The effect of physical activity on serum cartilage biomarkers is largely unknown. This study is critical to increase our knowledge of the physiological cartilage response to activities of daily living and dynamic tasks by focusing on healthy recreationally active individuals, thus improving our understanding of the complex relationship between cartilage health and the loading that occurs during different types of loading.
