Abstract
Arthritis is a painful inflammatory joint disease that limits the affected joint’s range of motion (ROM), muscle strength and endurance. As a result, cardiorespiratory capacity, physical functioning and quality of life of an individual are negatively affected. Certain physiological interventions do help alleviate joint pain and stiffness. This paper discusses the exercise-induced physiological lubrication mechanisms that dissipate arthritic joint pain. Aquatic- and land-based exercise and therapeutic interventions are also presented. Keywords: Arthritis; Exercise; Lubrication mechanisms
期刊介绍:
The South African Journal for Research in Sport, Physical education and Recreation (SAJRSPER) is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes original research articles, systematic reviews, commentaries, and letters on topics related to Sport and Exercise science, Physical education and Recreation. This includes research of topics such as bio-mechanics, motor control, sport injuries and rehabilitation, clinical exercise interventions, physical education, as well as outdoor and recreation related topics. Material that is particularly unique and relevant to the subject content at an international and national level would be considered.
