Do NOT do a pistol exercise ( like the one with the stool ) when you have a Jumper's Knee! You can do it ONLY when your knee is totally pain free!

[pvelitetrainer]

@EKTELESTES it depends on the severity of the injury. Patellar tendonitis takes on many intensities. Also, pain during these exercises is NORMAL, and is due to the increase in blood flow. If you experience NO pain during training then there is no muscle cell growth...in this case it's due to increasing blood flow through an inflammed area, totally normal. Just be cautious!

hey man i used to have jumprs knee in hs but i used thoes knee straps that u were wearing in ur tfb vid and never had that problem again,.. but ive started a jump program(the vertical bible) and did a 12 week program, and an 8 week program(programs with in the program) and I feel this pain below my heel, paticularly after doing more reactive plyometric stuff, feels almost like the knee thing just on my heel, any idea?

[pvelitetrainer]

@jmaris4eva perhaps achilles tendonitis, i have to see where exactly it's bothering you, but that's an idea, especially from doing plyos.

great vid,i'll definitely try these exercises next time i'll have jumper's knee.

and can you give me an advice on this. i don't have fat lower legs,or anything like that,and i don't have problems with jumping,i can jump very high,but i would like to have thinner lower legs,i think it's depends on length of achilles tendon, so could you please give me an advice on lengthening that tendon,some exercises or something like that? thanks in advance

regards

@mightynorman I hope you don't get jumpers knee again, and you should do these even if you don't have jumper's knee to help prevent it as well. As for calves, I have never done a single calve raise, however as a result of jumping, genetics and resistance training my calves have turned out as they appear. It's impossible to lengthen the Achilles tendon, reducing body fat which may give the appearance of a shorter insertion point of the calf belly which is a result of less BF. Hope that helps!

Dude this is a fantastic video!! Thanks heaps man, appreciate the wisdom!! I've been over doing it at squash for the past few weeks and I've noticed it getting progressively worse. Had this week off and looking into getting one of those straps, but long term want to strengthen and make sure I don't get it again!! Thanks again man!!

I used to have this problem and it affected my performance on the basketball court. I am a senior in high school now and going to college next year and found that YOU NEED TO STRECH to help get rid of the tendinitis. First, you need to take about two weeks off from and jumping or running (do some light work on an elliptical machine if possible or a bike). After taking some time off you need to strech every day. Finally, start working your legs out more in the weight room. By strengthening the m

I feel a popping/clicking right below my patella. It's not too painful but I feel it doing squats or leg extensions. I also run a lot and run a lot of stairs. Is this jumper's/runner's knee?

i had surgery on both of my knees due to chronic patellar tendonitis.i did 1 year of physio, it had gotten a little better. But improvements were slow. my knees felt so stiff like all of the time feeling like i'm 60 while i'm about to turn 25. The physio sessions were costing a lot of money so after a year and half i stopped. now 2 years later my knees are feeling worse, i think only thing that could help is for me to exercise every day and that for during at least 2 years

[minkmoink]

@pvelitetrainer should we wait till the inflammation goaway before doing the exercise?

[Tomatomaten]

You say "underneath the knee cap"

But pain at that location wouldn't have anything to do with the tendon, if you have true patella tendonitis, the pain will be located somewhere on the tendon.

For instance I have mine so low that I mistook it for shin splints.

Also, training the VMO is outdated science, its not Worth it for dealing

[Andrew6James]

ive been experiencing pain below my knee cap in the patellar tendon i believe for about 6 months, the pain is on the side below the VMO and my physio has diagnosed it as patellar tendonitis and ive been given a workout to do for it and ive taken rest and ive gradually gotten back to playng basketball, the pain seems to still be there sometimes even when playing even though i have a patellar tendon strap and more worryingly i seem to be developing the same thing on my left knee now. any ideas

[crookedFC]

I just watched your video, my knee started playing up again and the all the things you said is exactly what my physio explained last year.

I have got it down to me being too lazy to do my strength excersizes.

thanks mate

I started developing jumpers knee when I started college and also I've gained weight during the years (about 15 or so) and I wanted to start jogging again but my knees would hurt after. Do you recommend me just doing these exercises first before jogging again or can I combine the two. I really want to lose weight with jogging but I hate it that my knees keep getting in the way
