Strengthening the knee.

Strong and flexible quadriceps (in particular, the VMO) and hamstrings would eliminate most knee pain. Many people start a vigorous exercise or sports program without having a solid foundation of strong muscles. It's sort of like taking your ten-year-old car from Aparri to Jolo without overhauling it.

According to George Canlas, sports medicine doctor of Sprain & Strain Clinic and St. Luke's Hospital, the quadriceps should only be about twenty to thirty percent stronger than the hamstrings. If the quadriceps are much stronger than that or the hamstrings are stronger than the quads, there is a risk of knee joint injury.
