Main Results:

  • Biomechanical loading from exercise profoundly affects diarthrodial joint tissues and their interactions.
  • Exercise impacts juvenile tissue characteristics and mature joint homeostasis, balancing adaptation and pathology.
  • Synovial fluid biomarkers can aid in assessing joint homeostasis but require careful interpretation.

Conclusions:

  • Deliberate exercise is a key factor in maintaining joint homeostasis.
  • Exercise's influence on joint tissues varies with age and intensity.
  • Biomarker analysis for joint homeostasis is promising but complex.
