Volunteers were made to run for 30 minutes on a treadmill. Post running, certain substances associated with arthritis, were found less in the synovial fluid present in the knee, and more in the blood. Thus, running might have squeezed these substances out of the knees, reducing the risk of arthritis. But yes, certain factors could cause trouble to the knees. Running on concrete surfaces can damage the cartilage in knee joints. The softer the surface, the more joint-friendly it is. Weight is another factor. Heavier the person, higher the risk of knee injuries. The right shoe choice is also important. And lastly, cartilage loss could happen with age, increasing the risk of knee injury.
