How Running Impacts the Knee

Finance professional Jahanara Nissar works as a managing partner at Lynx Equity Strategies in New York. In this position, she broadened relationships with prospective institutional institutions. In her free time, Jahanara Nissar enjoys reading and running.

Running is a popular physical activity enjoyed by people around the globe. However, there is a popular misconception that running wrecks the knees. This belief is held because the knees absorb a significant amount of shock during a run, adversely impacting the cartilage. However, various studies have found that this is not the case.

A new study on the effects of running and walking on the knee joint showed that, while running puts more strain on the knees than walking, it can also strengthen and bulk up the cartilage.

Further, researchers discovered that running could reduce an individual's chances of developing arthritis later. This is because the compression of the knees while running supplies more fluid to the joints, keeping them lubricated. A study was conducted for over 18 years involving a group of long-distance runners and a non-runner control group.

During this time, the researchers took a series of X-rays to check for osteoarthritis in the knees. The study revealed no connection between running in healthy older persons and a prevalence of osteoarthritis. The study further revealed that only 20 percent of runners have indications of osteoarthritis compared to 32 percent of non-runners.

ER Use and Advantages in Investments

A New York resident, Jahanara Nissar graduated from The University of Chicago Booth School of Business, where she obtained a master of business administration in finance and strategic management. She currently serves as a managing partner at Lynx Equity Strategies. At the firm, Jahanara Nissar provides clients with equity research.

Equity research is a report or analysis that reveals the investment opportunities a particular investment has. For example, equity research professionals can help companies and banks decide whether or not a particular investment is worth it or not and if it can bring profits. They are highly important and beneficial for a firm as they can alert the firm about anything going on with potential investments and provide news about the industry in which the company activates. For example, if a company invests in stocks, equity research services could alert it about certain events that may affect the stock's returns.

Technically, equity research is responsible for business forecasts and predicting the amount of earnings a company will receive after making a specific investment. After the investment is made and the company releases its quarterly figures, equity research professionals update their research and models to see if their predictions were good and that the investment was beneficial for the company.

Running - Tips for Avoiding Injury

Jahanara Nissar is a New York City-based investment strategist with over 18 years of experience as a financial executive. In her free time, Jahanara Nissar enjoys running for exercise and pleasure in the urban sprawl of New York City.

Running in big cities can be a lot of fun, with varied terrains to traverse and sights to see. However, whether you are cutting through a public park or jogging down the road, it is vital to keep your health and safety in mind to avoid serious injury. Running seems straightforward, but you could do more harm than good to your body without proper preparation.

Wearing proper running shoes is as essential as getting them adequately fitted. You have a good pair if it is a bit snug in the heel and somewhat looser in the toes. Even if they seem fine at first, shoes that do not fit or are not designed for running will fail you in the long run by either wearing out or damaging your ligaments slowly over time. To keep the rest of your body in its best shape, make sure to vary your exercise by stretching before and after every run and heading to the gym regularly.

Analysts Raise Applied Materials’ Price

Jahanara Nissar is a New York City technology specialist who serves as the managing partner of Lynx Equity Strategies. A leading voice in her field, Jahanara Nissar, in tandem with KC Rajkumar, raised the Applied Materials, Inc., price target in late November 2021 from $140 to $200.

This price change reemphasized a “buy” rating and reflected a potential 35-percent upside of a company whose shares have remained relatively constant, at the $140 level, since April’s investor day. With Applied Materials’ reported Q4 FY21 revenue at $6.12 billion, the year-on-year increase of 31 percent. With supply chain issues cited, the company notably failed to hit the $6.34 billion consensus.

Headquartered in Silicon Valley, Applied Materials ranks among the top companies worldwide in materials engineering, spanning semiconductor, solar photovoltaic, and flat panel displays. Its capability to transform materials at atomic levels for industrial-scale use positions the company positively in several technology verticals.
