Static exercise for jumper's knee in weightlifters
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests a specific long-hold static (isometric) exercise for the knee tendon common in weightlifters, to see if it helps reduce pain and improve tendon health. It lasts 24 weeks with regular check-ups.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an athlete aged 18 to 45 who does competitive Olympic weightlifting or CrossFit at least 3 times a week
- Your knee pain has lasted at least 6 weeks
- Your knee pain is caused by patellar tendinopathy (a problem with the tendon below your kneecap) that shows signs of increased blood flow on a special ultrasound
- You have not had knee surgery in the last year, and you have not had a torn knee tendon or other serious knee problems
- You are not pregnant, and you are willing to avoid other specific knee exercises during the study

This study tests if a mild electrical current to a nerve in the groin area can improve thigh muscle strength in athletes with long-standing jumper's knee (patellar tendinopathy). The goal is to see if this treatment can help reduce pain and improve function.
This trial tests whether a treatment called ultrasound-guided electrolysis therapy can reduce pain and improve tendon health in people with patellar tendinopathy (knee tendon pain). It compares the real treatment to a sham (fake) treatment to see if it works better.
This study looks at how athletes with patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee) move compared to healthy athletes. It uses special motion tracking to identify differences that could help understand and manage this common knee pain.
This study tests whether adding jumping exercises early helps people with long-lasting leg tendon pain recover faster.
This study tests whether resistance training can improve the health of the patellar tendon in people with patellar tendinopathy (pain at the knee cap). It may help you recover strength and reduce pain over time.
This trial tests whether a supplement called HMB, combined with a structured rehab program, helps athletes with patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee) recover and return to sport. The study aims to see if adding the supplement improves outcomes compared to rehab alone.
