Sports that increased the risk of osteoarthritis in the knee were ones that had higher knee load bearing and carried a high risk of knee injury, Driban said. Among the at-risk sports listed were soccer, elite-level long-distance running, competitive weightlifting and wrestling. Choosing sports without these factors, such as swimming, tennis and cycling, increased athletes’ chances of not developing osteoarthritis, the authors concluded.
