Scientists reveal the best exercise for knee arthritis pain relief
A large study published in The BMJ suggests that aerobic activities such as walking, cycling, and swimming are the most effective exercises for people with knee osteoarthritis. Researchers note that while other types of exercise can still help, they should be used alongside aerobic activity rather than replacing it as the primary approach. Based on the results, the researchers recommend aerobic exercise "as a first line intervention for knee osteoarthritis management, particularly when the aim is to improve functional capacity and reduce pain."
