Is the overuse of joints when practicing sports detrimental for cartilage in the articulations?
Osteoarthritis may appear at earlier stages of life due to intense practice of sport (soccer, rugby, racquet sports, track and field sports, etc.) and under certain conditions (especially at a high intensity). Joint overuse and injuries are the main causes for triggering osteoarthritis, mainly of hip and knee.
