Eccentric Exercises
Eccentric exercises have been proposed to increase the remodeling process of the collagen fibers in the patellar tendon. This process causes the musculoskeletal unit to adapt to protect itself from the stress related to physical activity. Excellent results have been reported in athletes and nonathletic patients. Findings suggest that eccentric exercises have positive effects with no adverse reactions.16 A recent systematic review concluded that eccentric exercises are the only treatment of patellar tendinopathy that has the support of high-level evidence.17 Therefore, we advocate the use of eccentric exercises as the initial treatment for most patients with patellar tendinopathy, especially when the disorder is in the early stages.
Several different types of eccentric patellar tendon loading exercises are available. In a systematic review, Visnes and Bahr 18 concluded that the ability to specify which protocol component is responsible for the positive effects in patellar tendinopathy is limited. The available studies, which are small and of variable quality, indicate that the treatment program should include a decline board, should be performed with some level of discomfort, and should include the removal of athletes from sports activity.
you dont need to link me to anything. i know what its proposed to do, but your use of terminology just makes me cringe, it sounds like youre just making it up
