This presentation will outline evidence showing that osteoarthritis (OA), the most common form of arthritis, is a “tag team” event.  Joint loading becomes a powerful driver of joint disease when in the presence of obesity.  This presentation will outline data showing the interaction of biomechanics and obesity on degrading joint tissues, and provide a way forward for managing and potentially preventing OA disease through physical activity.
