Table 2. Comparisons of the shear elastic modulus, thickness and CSA between painful and non-painful sides in athletes with unilateral PT.

Variables	Painful side	Non-painful side	P Value
	(n = 13)	(n = 13)
Shear elastic modulus, kPa	43.6±17.9	25.8±10.6	0.008*
Thickness, mm	6.9±1.8	4.6±0.6	0.001*
CSA, cm2	1.7±0.4	1.4±0.3	0.002*

Values shown as mean± standard deviation; PT = patellar tendinopathy; CSA = cross sectional area. *P<0.05.
