Negative. I was asked that same question by the surgeon. I am 35years old and played a lot throughout my teens and twenties. Played at the college level as well. I hadn't played in about 3 years. I started to hit the gym 4-5 times a week after my basketball days were done...so I assumed my active lifestyle was enough for me to remain in good enough shape to go back.
Unfortunately I guess the movements are quite different. Lifting weights and riding the bike for cardio can be, but are not as strenuous a movement on the tendon as explosive movements on the basketball court.
