Comparing the effects of progressive tendon loading exercises versus eccentric training and static stretching exercises on patellar tendinopathy among college recreational players
Author(s): Manikandan S and Anand Chellapa
Abstract:The study compares the effectiveness of Progressive Tendon Loading Exercises (PTLE) with eccentric training combined with static stretching in managing patellar tendinopathy among college recreational players. Thirty participants were divided into two groups and treated over 24 weeks. Outcomes were measured using the VISA-P questionnaire assessing pain, function, and sports ability. Results showed that PTLE produced greater improvements in pain relief, functional performance, and tendon strength than the traditional eccentric and stretching approach, indicating that PTLE is a more effective rehabilitation method for patellar tendinopathy.
