Abstract
Osteoarthritis is a major cause of joint pain and disability, with the knee joint being the most commonly affected. The aim of this study is to investigate the evidence about the possible association between recreational running and the development of this pathology which is still controversial and sparse. Of the 409 articles in the initial research, four were included in this review. It was concluded that recreational running does not predispose to the development of clinical or radiographic knee osteoarthrosis, on the contrary, it seems to have a protective effect.
