Abstract Background For athletes, overcoming obstacles in challenging situations like pandemic home training is crucial. Strategies and approaches this context are not well-documented. Our study aims to investigate such a scenario from performance standpoint, based on major global crisis: the COVID-19 lockdown. Methods This cross-sectional surveyed athletes without disabilities using online questionnaires (35 languages) May July 2020. Questions included aspects of alternative routines, monitoring, recovery, sleep patterns, injury occurrence/prevention structured answers, an open-ended question lockdown experiences. Results Of 11,762 142 countries, 63% were male, including at World-Class, International, National, State Recreational levels. During lockdown, 25% used innovative or modern ways maintain improve fitness e.g., virtual reality tracking devices (favoring World-Class level, 30%). Many regardless gender (43%) watched video competitions improve/maintain their mental skills [World-Class (47%) International (51%)]. Contact frequency between coaches was mainly least once week (36%), more among higher-level (World-Class/International) than lower-level (27 vs. 16%). Higher-level (≥ 54%) monitored load assisted by (21%). stretching (67%) considered one primary means especially for (> 70%). Compared pre-lockdown, about two-thirds reported “normal” “improved” quality quantity, suggesting low pre-lockdown. On average, 40% utilized prevention exercises (at least) (51%) (39%)]. Most occurrences during involved knee (18%), ankle (16%), back (9%). Four key themes emerged regarding experiences: remote adaptation (e.g., shifting focus), creativity household items), enhancement opportunities refocusing neglected aspects), motivation challenges. Conclusions Both male female particularly those higher levels, displayed some adaptalibity employing technology training. implemented attentive prevention, while optimizing quantity. Athletes demonstrated abilities navigate challenges, different coping strategies response lockdown’s constraints.

Traditional athlete training data classification and prediction models have low accuracy, poor processing of high-dimensional data, weak dynamic adaptability. Before applying the ARIMA model for prediction, first step is to use an automated acquisition system connect sports devices, collect clean in real time, securely store backup it on a central server. The second preprocess collected divide into test sets ensure accuracy generalization ability model. third conduct time-series analysis identify time-dependent seasonal components data. fourth involves fitting through differential analysis, stationarity testing, parameter optimization, residual rolling forecasting, ensemble learning, predicting classifying so as improve robustness experimental results show that using highest, all exceeding 92%, average 2%–16.7% higher than other models. Moreover, errors are below 1.0%. In summary, application highly reliable.

Since December 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic has spread globally, prompting governments in many countries to implement lockdowns control transmission of virus. Outbreaks emerging infectious diseases, such as COVID-19, and associated government may have significant negative impacts on mental health. A comprehensive review available evidence this topic can provide useful information for policymakers. This aimed assess effects health general population during disease outbreaks. On April 11, 2022, we conducted a systematic search CENTRAL, MEDLINE, PsycINFO Ovid, two clinical trial registries, supplemented by reference checking citation searching. We included non-randomized studies interventions (NRSIs) involving adults adolescents, regardless comorbidities, that examined government-imposed compared no lockdown outbreaks including SARS, MERS, H1N1, equine influenza, avian Ebola virus disease.

The COVID-19 lockdown challenged the training options of athletes worldwide, including players from most popular sport globally, football/soccer. Purpose : authors explored practices football worldwide during lockdown. Methods Football (N = 2482, 30% professional, 22% semipro, and 48% amateur) completed an online survey (May–July 2020) on their before versus (March–June 2020). Questions were related to frequency session duration, as well knowledge attitudes. Results Before lockdown, more professional (87%) than semipro (67%) amateur (65%) trained ≥5 sessions/wk, but this proportion decreased 55%, 35%, 42%, respectively. Players (80%–87%) ≥60 minutes 45% in professionals, 43% amateurs, 36% semipros At home, two-thirds had space (73%) equipment (66%) for cardiorespiratory training, while availability technical strength was <50% Interactions between coach/trainer player frequent (ie, daily) among (27%) (11%) (17%) players. Training load monitoring, albeit limited, mostly performed by fitness coaches, so with professionals (35%) amateurs (13%) (17%). players’ attitudes/beliefs toward relatively modest (50%–59%). Conclusion negatively affected especially semipros, example, frequency, intensity, technical, recovery, other coaching-related aspects. During lockdown-like situations, should be monitored closely provided appropriate support facilitate training.

The accompanying restrictions on public life caused change in training routines athletes worldwide. present study aimed investigate effects 13-week supervised home program physical performance, sleep quality, and health-related quality professional youth soccer players during first lockdown Germany. Methods Eight (age range 16–19; height: 1.81 ± 0.07 m; body weight: 72.05 6.96 kg) from Bundesliga team Germany participated this study. During lockdown, they trained 5–6 days per week with home-based plans were monitored via tracking apps video training. To determine training, measurements taken before (March 2020) after (June period. Bioelectrical impedance analysis was used composition, an isokinetic strength test treadmill step test, including lactate measurements, measure performance. Two questionnaires responded order assess [Short-Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36)] (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index).

Of around 2 billion Muslims worldwide, approximately 1.5 observe Ramadan fasting (RF) month. Those that RF have diverse cultural, ethnic, social, and economic backgrounds are distributed over a wide geographical area. Sleep is known to be significantly altered during the month of Ramadan, which has profound impact on human health. Moreover, sleep closely connected dietary lifestyle behaviors.This cross-sectional study collected data using structured, self-administered electronic questionnaire was translated into 13 languages disseminated Muslim populations across 27 countries. The assessed factors as independent variables, three parameters (quality, duration, disturbance) dependent variables. We performed structural equation modeling (SEM) examine how affected these parameters.In total, 24,541 adults were enrolled in this study. SEM analysis revealed RF, optimum duration (7-9 h) associated with sufficient physical activity (PA) consuming plant-based proteins. In addition, smoking greater disturbance lower quality. Participants consumed vegetables, fruits, dates, proteins reported better Infrequent consumption delivered food infrequent screen time also Conflicting results found regarding dining at home versus out parameters.Increasing intake important could help improve healthy for those observing RF. regular PA avoiding may contribute improving

Changes trivial small compared moderate camp, lockdown. Para-athletes, males, older athletes, less experienced married specific ethnicities appeared be more detrimentally (increased stress) by These negative experiences, however, largely reversed camps. During lockdown, reported increased evening snack consumption (+8%), later meal-times (+6%), decreased fluid intake (−6%), no breakfast (+7%). camps (12–18% improvements). Sport classification accounted for 16% (p = 0.001) Overall, socio-demographic factors, improvements routines, well-being, habits explained 28% In conclusion, better well-being have implications reduced stress. beneficial, but this observation case-by-case consideration, short split are recommended.
