How can I strengthen my knee in general?I play tennis and basketball and have noticed my knees (especially left knee) the next day are sore. I wear an ankle brace to keep it tight on my knee. I also bike to class/around town. All these activities make walking up & down stairs difficult because they feel 1) sore and 2) weakened.
My question is what can I do to alleviate my aches, strengthen my knee, or prevent problems in the future? Thanks in advance everybody!

i do a lot of knee strengthening excersises because i am a ballerina and i have been doing it since i was three. i went to a doctor and he said that my knees aren't weak, they are worn out. i did soccer, but i am taking a break from it because i am wearing out my knees (by that i mean working them too mcuh without enough breaks). ur knees are most likely strong, it's just you need a little break from being on your feet and putting pressure on them.
hope this helps, hun! (:

I can see that you're not a professional, that's for sure. Your coach would have told you about strength training if you were a pro.
Squats! Squats strengthen knees. Squatters have 10X the knee health of a normal person!
Squat three times a week. Nothing moderate, use a pretty heavy load which you can't lift for more than 15 reps, then you rep it for 10 strict, deep reps.
