It's back to school! DYRK is dedicating a special week to sport. Because moving and doing regular physical activity is important for our physical and mental health! Listen again to our episodes about sport!

Running is one of the most common forms of exercise, and it makes sense when you think about it. You can do it more or less anywhere and equipment costs are relatively low. But many people say running is bad for the human body, whether it be the back, knees or just bones in general. It’s often associated with an increased risk of developing osteoarthritis, a common joint disease. So is there any truth behind these assumptions? We’ve looked at a number of scientific studies to find out the facts.

Where does running get its bad reputation from then? Why do so many runners end up getting injured then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !
