We offer evidence-based answers to common questions about the effects of exercise on joint health, by applying medical research techniques on a significant scale.
Below you’ll find summaries of all our completed studies, encompassing knees, hips, spine; activities that include running, walking and cycling, and a broad range of participants in terms of age, gender, outlook and fitness. Each summary gives you a simple overview, with a link to the published scientific paper.
What do levels of muscle fat tell us about muscle health?
With this study we wanted to test the idea that the amount of fat in your muscles can be a good indicator of muscle, hip and general health.. We compared different groups, ranging from the healthy and active to those who were inactive and suffering from hip pain.
Can we speed up the measurement of fat in muscles?
Muscle fat measurement has huge potential for helping us better understand joint and muscle health. But measuring each person is a slow job. In this study we tested an automated method that finally makes it viable to run clinical trials on a scale that can give meaningful results.
