Methods A questionnaire was formed and distributed to all master swimmers registered with the Turkish Swimming Federation. The collected data included age, sex, the age to start swimming (SAS), weekly training time (WTT), weekly training distance (WTD), any painful episode that lasted more than 10 days in any of the body regions within last one year, any confirmed diagnosis of musculoskeletal disease by a physician, and history of musculoskeletal surgical operation. The descriptive data were presented, and multiple comparisons were made according to demographic characteristics.

Methods: A retrospective review of 53 patients with acute ATR who underwent primary surgical repair was performed. Patient-reported functional outcomes were evaluated with the ATR score (ATRS). Calf atrophy was assessed using the difference between the maximum calf circumference on the involved and healthy sides. The objective functional capacity of the lower leg was assessed using a single-leg standing heel-rise fatigue test. The limb symmetry index (LSI) was calculated as the ratio between the injured and uninvolved limbs. The correlation between variables was tested using the Spearman correlation test. Results: There were 53 patients (50 males and three females) with a mean age of 40.8±7.7 years (range, 27-59 years). The mean follow-up duration was 35.6±16....
