-It depends on the type of exercise. Range of Motion exercise is basically stretching and low resistance movement of joints, causing the joints to move through their maximum comfortable range. Range of Motion exercises tend to promote healthy joints and causes the synovial fluid to move through the joints. Synovial fluid not only lubricates the joint it also promotes healing of minor injuries. Range of motion exercises become necessary for us as we age and promotes healthy joints at any age. <br /> Resistance or impact exercises such as weight training, running or isometrics can cause different degrees of joint damage, depending on the individual. Arthritis pain is often the result of wearing away the cartilage of the joint during resistance or impact exercise. <br />-

-The short term effects of exercise on joints are mainly increased flexibility. By warming the muscles and ligaments associated with the joint, it will become more flexible, and less likely to become injured. This is why it is important to warm up before doing any exercise.

What are the effects of exercise on the osteoarthritis?

As with many things in life, the short answer is "it depends"!Different types of exercise will have different effects. Anything that puts your joints under a large amount of stress (such as road running) is likely to cause problems - osteoarthritis is caused by the cartilage around your joints wearing thin, and high-impact exercise could risk wearing the cartilage further.However, ate the same time, taking part in some gentle exercise each day will increase the durability of your muscles which will aid in keeping your joints decently aligned, thereby diminishing the chance of osteoarthritis. Doing some gentle weight lifting is often quoted as being a good exercise to do, since it is low impact, but will help strengthen your muscles. Another good option for exercise is power walking.As always, not doing any exercise at all will cause many more problems than it will solve - keeping active will help keep a person's body weight down, which in turn puts less pressure on the joints, and thus will not wear the cartilage so much. Additionally, not working your joints at all would simply cause extra stiffness, making the already existing pain worse.
