Troels Kjeldsen @tkjeldsen.bsky.social · 08/10/2025Just returned from Fukuoka Japan attending the #ISHA2025 Scientific Meeting with great colleagues. I presented results from the Hip Booster trial, showing that exercise booster sessions are not effective for maintaining effects of exercise in hip OA. 100
Troels Kjeldsen @tkjeldsen.bsky.social · 08/09/2025Exercise generally does not increase the breakdown of joints affected by osteoarthritis. However, this has not yet been studied specifically in hip osteoarthritis. Read more – and if you have hip osteoarthritis, you may participate in a scientific study: videnskab.dk/krop-sundhed... 111

Troels Kjeldsen @tkjeldsen.bsky.social · 12/03/2025Thrilled about engagement at our symposium #ExerciseasMedicine at Aarhus University last week. The overall take-away message for me is how exercise impacts trajectories for healthy ageing and for those who live with disease. There are still challenges, one being how to ensure long-term engagement. 110
