Summary

The purpose of the present project is to investigate if the restitution time from loading in an exercise-based 12 weeks rehabilitation regime for patellar tendinopathy influences the clinical outcome, tendon structure and function.

The investigators hypothesize that greater restitution from loading (1 exercise day per week) will yield a greater positive clinical outcome, and tissue structure and function in patients with patellar tendinopathy compared to less restitution (3 exercise days per week), when impact activities are restricted in both groups.

Conditions

  • Patellar Tendinopathy
  • Jumper's Knee

Interventions

OTHER

Resistance training for knee extensors

The exercise will be started at 60% of 1 repetition maximum (RM) and progressed to 75% of 1 RM during the first 3 weeks and maintained throughout the intervention period. The exercise will be performed slowly (6 s/ repetition).
