With the National Basketball Association (NBA) training camps now
underway, serious injuries may come next. A national sports medicine
expert, who published an article in a respected medical journal about the
injury ramifications of lockouts, says players in the NBA should learn
from information analyzed after the National Football League (NFL)
lockout.
.
The study found that more career-threatening and potentially career-ending
Achilles tendon injuries were suffered in the first two weeks of NFL
training camp than occurred in an entire season. The data shows that
Achilles tendon injuries to NFL players quadrupled compared to past years.
Five researchers from institutions including The Ohio State University
Medical Center evaluated early NFL injury rates and saw a correlation
between sports injuries and preparatory conditioning. The findings were
detailed in a guest editorial in the Journal of Orthopedic & Sports
Physical Therapy.
.
This year, following the rapid transition to training camp and preseason
practices from the NFL lockout, ten Achilles tendon injuries occurred over
the first 12 days of training camp. Two additional injuries occurred in
the subsequent 17 days, which included the first two weeks of preseason
competition.
.
"Extrapolate what we've seen in the NFL, and I could see in the NBA in the
range of 2, 3, 4 times higher rates of injury," said Timothy Hewett, PhD,
Director of Research at The Ohio State University Medical Center's sports
medicine department. "This could be a historic event, where we start to
think, 'Is there a potential for really putting players at risk by these
legal wranglings?'"
