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 weight-lifters (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.
对25名经验丰富的举重运动员的上肢和下肢关节进行了临床和放射学研究，以确定这项运动所导致的退行性关节疾病（骨关节炎）的程度。尽管在5名举重运动员（20%）中发现了明显的退行性变化，但这一数字并不高于在所研究年龄组的普通人群中发现的比例。在奥运会式举重运动员中发现的退行性变化（30.7%）比力量举运动员（8.3%）更多。讨论了这些数字的意义。上肢关节几乎完全没有退行性变化。
