Article Synopsis
- Previous research shows that players in both the NBA and WNBA perform worse after suffering an Achilles tendon rupture (ATR), but this study aims to compare the recovery and performance differences between the two leagues.
- The study included 102 professional players, analyzing 34 ATR cases and measuring factors like return to play (RTP) time and player efficiency rating (PER) among injured and uninjured athletes.
- Results indicated significant differences: NBA players took longer to recover (126 days more than WNBA players) and had a greater decline in performance after injury, with notable discrepancies in PER before and after ATR in both leagues.
