The Jumper's Knee Protocol

The tendon is not torn. It needs the right load.

That ache under your kneecap after jumping or landing is patellar tendinopathy, not a tear. Rest alone rarely fixes it. This protocol follows the loading order the research supports: isometric, then strength, then heavy slow resistance, then a full return to jumping.

TWELVE WEEKS. ONE LOGICAL PROGRESSION.

Build capacity, step by step.

Weeks 1–3

Calm the tendon

Reduce pain with isometric holds, maintain capacity, and temporarily lower jump and sprint volume.

Weeks 4–6

Build capacity

Isotonic strength through comfortable ranges, and the first light landing mechanics.

Weeks 7–9

Heavy slow resistance

Heavy, slow loading to drive tendon adaptation, and the first real energy-storage work.

Weeks 10–12

Return to jumping

Progressive plyometrics and sport-specific jump and landing drills.

The schedule provides structure, not a recovery deadline. Your response determines when you progress.

SEE YOUR PROGRESS

Stop guessing. Track the change.
