Patellar Tendinopathy - The Effect of Load Magnitude in Exercise-based Treatment

NCT03096067 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 44

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this project is to investigate if the magnitude of a loading based 12 weeks rehabilitation regime for patellar tendinopathy influence the clinical outcome, tendon structure and function.

The investigators hypothesize that a greater magnitude (90% of 1RM) of loading will yield a more positive clinical outcome, tendon structure and function in patients with patellar tendinopathy compared to a lower magnitude of loading (55% of 1 RM) when total exercise volume is equal in both groups.

Conditions

  • Patellar Tendinopathy
  • Jumper's Knee

Interventions

OTHER

Heavy slow resistance training

Resistance training for knee extensors. The exercise will be performed at 90% of 1 RM and slowly (6 s/repetition).

OTHER

Moderate slow resistance training

Resistance training for knee extensors. The exercise will be performed at 55% of 1 RM and slowly (6 s/repetition).
