Eccentric exercise in the prevention of patellofemoral pain in high-volume runners: A rationale for integration

Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a common overuse condition seen in high-volume runners, such as military recruits. Exercise is commonly prescribed, with benefit, for the rehabilitation of individuals with PFP. However, a substantial number of individuals with the condition do not achieve an optimal out...

description Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a common overuse condition seen in high-volume runners, such as military recruits. Exercise is commonly prescribed, with benefit, for the rehabilitation of individuals with PFP. However, a substantial number of individuals with the condition do not achieve an optimal outcome, suggesting the condition can be difficult and complex. Given the challenging nature of the condition, and the risk of developing PFP in high-volume runners, it seems logical to investigate options for injury prevention. Eccentric exercise has been useful in the prevention of some pathologies so its utility in preventing PFP should be explored. Current evidence regarding prevention programs for PFP are limited. Preventative exercise programs for PFP have not been well described or reported, and questions remain regarding their effectiveness. Based on available evidence or lack thereof, and known physiological and clinical effects of eccentric exercise, suggestions for integration of eccentric exercise into PFP prevention programs are offered. Eccentric exercise may be useful for PFP prevention from a theoretical framework however additional longitudinal cohort studies would be useful in determining its utility.

Sports Med Health Sci Commentary Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a common overuse condition seen in high-volume runners, such as military recruits. Exercise is commonly prescribed, with benefit, for the rehabilitation of individuals with PFP. However, a substantial number of individuals with the condition do not achieve an optimal outcome, suggesting the condition can be difficult and complex. Given the challenging nature of the condition, and the risk of developing PFP in high-volume runners, it seems logical to investigate options for injury prevention. Eccentric exercise has been useful in the prevention of some pathologies so its utility in preventing PFP should be explored. Current evidence regarding prevention programs for PFP are limited. Preventative exercise programs for PFP have not been well described or reported, and questions remain regarding their effectiveness. Based on available evidence or lack thereof, and known physiological and clinical effects of eccentric exercise, suggestions for integration of eccentric exercise into PFP prevention programs are offered. Eccentric exercise may be useful for PFP prevention from a theoretical framework however additional longitudinal cohort studies would be useful in determining its utility.
