re: jumper's knee/ patellar ligament tendinitis

check you hip joint mechanics and the balance between quads and hamstrings during jumping/running etc. Then assess footware and the training regimen as this may be due to over training or incorrect technique (which is usually the number one cause). The knne breaks down when it's hinge function is simply over worked so look elsewhere for why this is happening and don't treat the knee as the problem. :-)
