Prevalence of Jumper's knee among nonelite athletes from different sports: a cross-sectional survey.
The prevalence of jumper's knee among nonelite athletes from different sports is unknown. ⋯ Prevalence of jumper's knee is high among nonelite athletes and varies between 14.4% and 2.5% for different sports. Jumper's knee is almost twice as common among male nonelite athletes compared with female athletes. Different sport-specific loading characteristics of the knee extensor apparatus, a younger age, a taller body stature, and higher body weight seem to be risk factors associated with patellar tendinopathy.
