Abstract

Topicality. An active lifestyle is important for all age groups. Patellofemoral pain syndrome and tendinopathies of the knee joint are widespread among track and field athletes, as injuries and diseases of the musculoskeletal system are often an inevitable part of the sports process. A late diagnosis and, as a result, a long rehabilitation process for a long time limits or makes it impossible to return to full training, and sometimes to the continuation of a sports career. The Purpose of the Study – investigate the causes and develop a comprehensive program for the prevention of patellofemoral pain syndrome and tendinopathy of the knee joint in high-class athletes. Research Materials and Methods – analysis and generalization of data from scientific and methodical literature and information sources of the «Internet» network. Results of theResearch. The article substantiates the importance of a comprehensive approach to the prevention of sports injuries. The main causes and clinical manifestations of patellofemoral pain syndrome and tendinopathy of the knee joint in athletes were analyzed. The main types and methods of rehabilitation in each specific case of traumatization are characterized. The components of physical therapy are determined depending on the stage of the rehabilitation process. Conclusions. The main causes of knee joint injuries were studied. A program for the prevention of sports injuries of the knee joint has been developed and theoretically substantiated.
