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.

Objective: Social distancing protocols due to the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in premature ending of athletic seasons and cancellation upcoming seasons, placing significant stress on young athletes. Inability play or forced early retirement has consequences athlete's mental health, as demonstrated by an extensive body injury literature. We hypothesize that suspension events leads higher incidence depressive symptoms among high-school collegiate Further, athletes who strongly derive their sense self-worth centered around athletics would have rates symptoms. Methods: High school were evaluated for symptoms, emotional health identity measures through validated assessment instruments from May 2020 July 2020. The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Depression Computer Adaptive Test (PROMIS-10 CAT), Veterans RAND-12 (VR-12), which comprises both a physical component, Athletic Identity Scale (AIMS) utilized. Results: Mental assessments completed 515 (52.4% male, 47.6% female; .84.5% collegiate, 15.5% high school). Female scored significantly worse than males VR-12 assessments, well PROMIS-10 scores; however, lower females irrespective education level. Athletes had strong associations with central personal exhibited psychologic impact female this cohort reported greater males.
