[外絮] 聯盟稱「負載管理」不再受科學證據支持

原標題：NBA ‘load management’ no longer supported by scientific data, league says (聯盟說「負載管理」不再受到科學證據的支持) 來源：https://theathletic.com/4954304/ 作者：Joe Vardon, Sam Amick 原文＋翻譯：（節錄） In a stunning development, a top NBA official said teams’ general practice of resting players to prevent future injury and extend careers — commonly known as “load management,” a term ingrained into the lexicon of the sport over the past several years as some of the biggest stars missed huge amounts of games — is no longer supported by scientific data held by the league. 一位高層人員出人意表地表示，球隊讓球員休戰以避免未來受傷及延續職業生涯的普遍性 作法——也就是在過去數年以來，因為許多球星錯過大量比賽的關係而深深扎根於體育界 的「負載管理」——已不再受到聯盟所掌握的科學證據之支持。 “Before, it was a given conclusion that the data showed that you had to rest players a certain amount, and that justified them sitting out,” Joe Dumars, executive vice president of basketball operations for the NBA, said. “We’ve gotten more data, and it just doesn’t show that resting, sitting guys out correlates with lack of injuries, or fatigue, or anything like that, ” Dumars said. “What it does show is maybe guys aren’t as efficient on the second night of a back-to-back.” NBA 籃球營運執行副總裁 Joe Dumars 說：「過去的結論是，數據顯示你必須讓球員休息 一定期間，這證明了他們缺賽的緣由。我們如今獲得更多的數據，但這些並未表明讓球員 缺賽的作法，與傷病、疲勞或類似的狀況有密切相關，相反的在背靠背比賽的第二晚，球 員的效率可能會有所下降。」 The phrase, “load management,” was most infamously used to explain the occasional games Kawhi Leonard sat out during his lone season with the Toronto Raptors in 2018-19 to manage the wear and tear of a leg injury that had caused him to miss all but nine games of the previous year with the San Antonio Spurs. 「負載管理」一詞過去常被用於解釋可愛在2018-19 賽季期間，在暴龍隊的唯一一個賽季 中頻繁缺席比賽的原因，以控制導致他於前一個賽季在馬刺隊期間，導致他缺席七十多場 比賽的磨損性腿傷。 The practice of resting players who are not obviously injured predates Leonard, but it (along with the actual phrase of “load management”) spread like wildfire throughout the NBA over the last two seasons, with numerous stars being held out of the same games, often when they were broadcast on national TV, even though they were not obviously injured. 讓沒有明顯傷病的球員休戰的作法在可愛之前已經出現過了，但這種「負載管理」的作法 在過去兩個賽季間像野火一樣在整個聯盟蔓延開來，無數球星即使沒有明顯傷病、且有全 美電視轉播，但也會選擇缺席比賽。 短評： 所以這鞏固了聯盟先前設定「禁止多位球星同時輪休」的立場了... -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 180.74.68.60 (馬來西亞) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/NBA/M.1697060455.A.F9F.html
