The goal of this observational study is to investigate the relationship between temporal, kinetic, and kinematic jump variables and patellar tendons' structure in athletes. The main research questions are: Does the structure of the patellar tendon relate to the temporal, kinetic, and kinematic variables of different jumps? To answer these questions, participants will undergo a UTC (Ultrasound Tissue Characterization) scan of the patellar tendon and perform two vertical jump: a countermovement jump and tuck jump test.
