Tendinopathy: Optimal Time for Management Through Exercise (TENDOTIME) - a Randomised Controlled Study Comparing Targeted Training Performed Morning and Late Afternoon in a 12-week Intervention Program on Chronic Patellar Tendinopathy
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
The study is a 12-week human study where 60 participants with chronic patellar tendinopathy (more than 3 months symptoms duration) are randomised to undergo 12 weeks of targeted resistance exercise either in the morning or in the late afternoon. The overall aim is to investigate when the best time of the day to perform muscular strength training therapy towards tendinopathy is. The study will also include 10 healthy controls who will not perform any exercise training.
