Improve Knee Joint Health Through Exercise – Study

The Mobilize Lab at the University of Waterloo is recruiting participants between the ages of 25 to 44 years old, who are currently sedentary (> 20 minutes of exercise per day) to participate in their research study.

Participants will receive 16-weeks of FREE virtual resistance training, $50 after study completion, and those who regularly exercise will be entered into bi-weekly giveaways valued at $25!

Over a 20-week period, you will be asked to complete 3 online exercise classes per week, and visit the University of Waterloo (2x) and St. Joseph’s Healthcare in Hamilton (2x) to:

  • Take MRI scans of your knee before and after a treadmill walk to measure cartilage
  • Assess body size measurements
  • Collect blood, to measure immune and inflammatory cells
  • Analyze how your leg moves, to measure forces inside the knee
  • Complete questionnaires to assess your activity and health
