Avoid crouching, the kneecaps hate it! The alternation of flexions and extensions is detrimental in the long run.
Of course, overweight and yo-yo diets, which are catastrophic scenarios because the muscles melt very quickly so the knees are more sensitive to shocks because they are less supported by the muscles, are to be avoided.
For joggers, in 90% of cases, it is easy to remedy because the cause comes from shoes unsuitable for the characteristics of the feet of the runner. The shoe used is completely opposite to what suits it, or else the anti-pronation system of the shoe is too weak, or even insufficient.
For cyclists avoid having a position too “forward”. Position yourself well behind the saddle so as not to exert too much pressure on the knees.
One knee should always be silent. In case of signs (swelling, pain …) consult a rheumatologist or orthopedist.
