Running decreases knee intra-articular cytokine and cartilage oligomeric matrix concentrations: a pilot study. European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2016; 116 (11-12): 2305 DOI: 10.1007/s00421-016-3474-z

In a study recently published in the European Journal of Applied Physiology, Seeley and a group of BYU colleagues, as well as Dr...
