The 2014 Arthritis Research UK publication Musculoskeletal Health – A public health approach sets out a life-course approach to preserving musculoskeletal health. This conference builds on this initiative and the work of The Arthritis Research UK Centre Sport, Exercise and Osteoarthritis. It will explore the relationship between physical activity (of all types), joint pain and osteoarthritis. Specifically:
• National physical activity guidance and barriers/levers to uptake
• Physical Activity, Exercise, Sport and Osteoarthritis
• Physical activity interventions for arthritis
• Sport and injury prevention and health promotion
