Long-hold isometric exercise for jumper's knee in weightlifting athletes
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether holding a long, steady leg exercise (isometric) can help treat patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee) in weightlifters. It aims to see if this type of strengthening can reduce pain and improve function without needing surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are a competitive weightlifting athlete (Olympic lifting or CrossFit) and train at least 3 times per week.
- You are between 18 and 45 years old.
- You have had knee pain for at least 6 weeks.
- You have been diagnosed with jumper's knee using an ultrasound that shows abnormal blood flow in the tendon.
- You can safely do leg exercises with added weight or your own body weight.

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 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 if extracorporeal shock wave therapy (a non-surgical treatment using sound waves) can help athletes with patellar tendinopathy, also known as jumper's knee. It is for people who have had pain in the patellar tendon for at least 6 months and are active in jumping sports.
This trial tests whether a quick ultrasound treatment to the patellar tendon (the tendon just below your kneecap) can improve your jump performance. It is for healthy young adults who have no knee problems.
