Swimming shows a protective effect on the ECM metabolism. The expression of cartilage matrix biomarkers ADAMTS5, COL-II of knee joint was detected by Immunohistochemistry staining (scale bar: 20 μm). The data in the figures represent mean values ± SD, #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01 compared with the Blank group,*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 compared with the ACLT group
