Cartilage can regenerate in the knees while running


The Researchers found that 44 runners in the study of ultra marathon runners experienced cartilage breakdown in the joints at about 1,550 miles into the race. Amazingly, after that point, the cartilage began to recover as the athletes continued to run.

"It was thought that cartilage could only regenerate during rest," Schütz told New Scientist. "We have shown for the first time that it can regenerate during running."
