Does Osteoarthritis affect elite athletes?

Press/Media: Other

Description

We have spoken about occupational risk factors for osteoarthritis on previous episodes, but one occupation we have not covered is elite level athletes or Olympians. The intense training schedules sometimes lasting up to 6 hours a day make Olympians more susceptible to joint injury. On this week’s episode of Joint Action, we are joined by Dr Debbie Palmer to discuss the prevalence of osteoarthritis in Olympians.
