Tendonitis
The inflammation of the tendons is known as tendonitis and can result from the overuse of a tendon while performing some activities such as cycling, jumping, or running. A particular type of tendonitis commonly known as jumper’s knee affects the athletes or people who continually play sports such as basketball. In the case of jumper’s knee, the tendon covering the patella swells as the excessive jumping strains the knee. [3]
