Video Summary
The speaker, a physical therapist, explains exercises for infrapatellar tendinopathy. He recommends starting with a split squat isometric: hold a split squat position for 45 seconds, five sets, with 1–2 minutes rest. When tolerated, progress to a Bulgarian split squat, initially slow and controlled, then faster or with added weight. These can be done at home with minimal equipment. If a gym is available, similar progressions can be done on a leg extension machine, beginning with isometric holds and then moving to dynamic leg extensions. The emphasis is on gradual progression, control, and increasing load as symptoms improve.
