Zusammenfassung:To investigate the effects of a high frequency strengthening program on function, pain, and pain sensitization in female runners with chronic patellofemoral pain (PFP). Cross-sectional study. University laboratory. Thirty female runners (mean age 32 ± 8.1 years) with chronic PFP completed an 8-week home strengthening program. Variables assessed at baseline, 8-weeks, and 12 weeks included single leg step down test (SLSD), pain, Anterior Knee Pain Scale (AKPS), University of Wisconsin Running Injury and Recovery Index (UWRI), and quantitative sensory testing. There was large and statistically significant improvement at 8 and 12 weeks for average knee pain (ηp2 = 0.334, p
