Message: [QUOTE="hoopsnloops32, post: 4835022, member: 3464"] The timing just seems oddly coincidental. A lot of places were shut down for months in 2020 and as a result of a lot of training that would normally be done and led by a professional was done at home sans professional. For example, Azzi Fudd tore her ACL in 2019 and had to do a lot of recovery and rehab at home supervised by her mom instead of a professional and without all the equipment and technology she has access to now. You don't know many injuries were rehabed or prehabbed in ways that made future injuries more likely. Young players training at home, potentially creating bad habits or training in ways that make them more susceptible, could also have had in impact. Plus any medical issue that wasn't life or death was pushed off or postponed for months to a year due to covid. Injuries that normally might have dealt with quickly could have turned into nagging injuries. These are a just a few initial thoughts that could have caused it but maybe its just a coincidence. However, its easy to me to see how a global heath pandemic that shut down most of the country for almost a year, specifically the health care sector could have a long term impact on injuries. [/QUOTE]
