Research project studying the effects of prior knee injury and sedentary behavior on long-term health in former athletes to inform chronic disease prevention.
Description
The project aims to evaluate the impact of prior knee injury and sedentary behavior on long-term health among former athletes. The research involves comparing function, strength, and cardiometabolic indicators among former athletes with and without prior injury and non-athlete controls. The study also examines sedentary behavior and physical activity patterns in current and mid-life athletes. The goal is to inform targeted interventions to prevent chronic diseases in this population.
