So, why is it that running where you're potentially at at least at the knees experiencing eight times your body weight with each impact, why wouldn't that do more? And I've been thinking about this for some time and maybe somebody knows the answer, but my suspicion is that the confounder here is body weight and BMI, right? And that when you talk about elite runners and usually these are studied in elite runners, they're very weight conscious, right? running is running and cycling are the ultimate strengthtoe uh ratio sports and I do wonder if we're seeing basically malnourished runners and what do I mean by that basically people that are you know BMI is too low might be perfect for being a runner but it's too low for optimizing bone mineral density so I guess this is a long-winded way of saying running might not be enough
