The study is to find out of the comparative Sprinting-induced patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) causes physical and psychologicalal distress in athletes. While strength training has been used for physical rehabilitation, mindfulness training is a recent addition to rehabilitation science with the potential to improve both physical AND psychological protocols.
Research on the effects of mindfulness and strength training on knee function in sprinters with patellofemoral pain is lacking, despite a wealth of studies on the psychological rehabilitation of athletes. The study's findings indicated that stress reduction and pain management enhance knee function. To improve the physical and psychological elements of sprinters with patellofemoral discomfort, this research assists them integrate mindfulness training with strength training. Strength training to improve knee stability and muscle balance, as well as mindfulness to lessen the psychological effects of pain and stress, can help sprinters with both the mental and physical aspects of patellofemoral pain. Research was being done on this combined approach in this specific population.
