Nutrition could play an important role in the rehabilitation from sport injuries.

For this reason, the aim of this study are to analyze the effect of creatine ingestion in pain, histological properties of the tendon, body composition, strength and vertical jump performance in athletes with patellar tendinopathy that follow a physical rehabilitation program that include eccentric exercise combined with stretching and extracorporeal shock wave therapy.
