Hi not sure if this thread is particularly live but will give it a go.

i am fifty two and started playing the fast growing sport of walking football. Historically I played football or soccer until I was twenty nine and knee ligament and cartledge damage meant an op. I them played five a side in my thirties and damaged my cartledge in my right knee. Playing walking football for the past two years has been fine, but lately had problems with my knees.

A physio mentioned years ago to strengthen the muscles around the knees. I currently cycle and a member of a local gym. Can anyone recommend a specific set of exercises to focus on that will help to provide strength and support for my knees?

may not be connected, but recently changed my football boots. Could this make a difference?
