Summary

This study is to investigate the effects of age, tissue status and the presence of inflammation on the in vivo dose-response relationship of ambulatory load and mechanosensitive blood markers of articular cartilage.

Conditions

  • Articular Cartilage Degeneration

Interventions

PROCEDURE

walking stress test

walk for 30 minutes on a treadmill with either one of the three loading conditions (reduced load = 80% Bodyweight (BW), normal load = 100% BW, increased load = 120% BW). The order of experimental condition will be applied in randomized order determined by block randomization, and the same self-selected walking speed will be used for all conditions.
