Sell's stated role of quadriceps strength
According to the description, Prof. Dr. Stefan Sell explains in the ERCM Medizin Podcast why strength training remains important, especially with increasing age. A well-built musculature, for example of the quadriceps, can stabilise the knee and take load off the joint. The description presents this as a general explanation, not as a measured result from a study. [1]
Training must match osteoarthritis form and site
The description states that training must fit the individual form and localisation of the osteoarthritis. Incorrectly performed or unsuitable exercises can even increase the load. For certain changes behind the kneecap, exercises such as the leg press can be problematic, according to the description. [1]
Sell's stated recommendation: guided, checked training
The description reports his recommendation: targeted strength training under good guidance and with regular checks of technique. It closes with a question to viewers about whether they keep training despite joint complaints or rather avoid strength training. [1]
