Article Synopsis
- The study is a retrospective analysis focused on treating jumper's knee (patellar tendinopathy) in elite athletes through a specific exercise protocol.
- It involved six high-level jumping athletes completing a 36-month strength program combining eccentric, isometric, concentric exercises, and electrostimulation, assessing pain levels using a visual analogue scale (VAS).
- Results indicated a significant reduction in pain during tendon loading activities at various follow-up points (18, 24, and 48 months), suggesting the protocol's effectiveness for athletes suffering from chronic painful jumper's knee.
