stop jumping rope for alittle bit try a very light bike ride the day after putting alot of stress on your knees and quit running down hill of it you dont want to start by runnning at a sliglt grade and work your way up to steeper grades if you feel the constant need to break slightly its to steep and bad for your knees
though i dont know if you jump rope or run down hill but stop for alittle bit and try riding bike but nothing intense just a nice stroll once a week on perhaps a rest day or before a rest day.

omg i had the exact same problem, i went to my doctor about it and he said that to counterbalance this you've got to strengthen your quads. Riding a bike is perfect, expecially when riding uphill.
Anyway i followed his advice and i no longer have that sharp pain that shoots through my knee when i bend it.
I hope this helps

Marlin26 with all due respect, your doctor is wrong. Im surprised you did quad exercises and they helped your knees. Did you specifically isolate the quads? I'm assuming you did other leg work as well because what stabilizes the knee and has more say in knee positioning and function are the hamstrings. This I know due to multiple meniscus tears and requiring surgery. the hamstrings are what helps strengthen that whole knee area in general. I'm sure you can find additional info online. A great exercise to do are calf raises, squats (lightly, till you can push yourself further), split lunges and a light bike ride. Hope this helps. Stay up.

Don't know about strengthening your knees specifically but look into some wrestling workouts both in weights and calisthenics . Many of those will greatly improve your squatting stamina and help you change levels quickly while remaining balanced.
