A jumpers kneeisan injury that you suffer due to too much load on your knee. It is a tendon attachment problem on the underside of the kneecap and is common in sports such as showjumping, volleyball and basketball. Between the tibia and the kneecap is the tendon of the upper leg muscle that holds the kneecap in place when moving. This tendon can become irritated by overload.
