Abstract
A clinical and radiological study of upper and lower limb joints was carried out on 25 experienced weight-lifters to identify the extent of degenerative joint disease (Osteoarthrosis) produced by this sport. Although significant degenerative changes were found in five lifters (20 ), this figure is not greater than that found in the general population within the age group studied. There were more degenerative changes found in Olympic style weightlifters (30.7 ) than in power lifters (8.3 ). The significance of these figures is discussed. The upper limb joints were almost completely free of degenerative changes. Verf.-Referat
