Top-Ranked Duke Basketball Seeks Advantage With WHOOP Usage

Duke retained its stature as the No. 1-ranked team in men’s college basketball after a win last week against No. 2 Michigan State, as the Blue Devils program continues to thrive under the leadership of coach Mike Krzyzewski.

In the offseason, Duke added the use of WHOOP Strap 2.0. The lightweight wearable devices measures and analyzes strain, sleep and recovery of the players and can work with the program’s personalized sports science approach.

“Smart training used to be qualitative, relying on questions such as, ‘How are you feeling?’ or, ‘How’s your workout going?’” Duke men’s basketball athletic trainer Jose Fonseca said in a statement.
