Abstract Objective Our objective was to explore the training-related knowledge, beliefs, and practices of athletes influence lockdowns in response coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Methods Athletes ( n = 12,526, comprising 13% world class, 21% international, 36% national, 24% state, 6% recreational) completed an online survey that available from 17 May 5 July 2020 explored their training behaviors (training beliefs/attitudes, practices), including specific questions on intensity, frequency, session duration before during lockdown (March–June 2020). Results Overall, 85% wanted “maintain training,” 79% disagreed with statement it is “okay not train lockdown,” a greater prevalence for both higher-level athletes. In total, 60% considered “coaching correspondence (remote coaching)” be sufficient (highest amongst world-class athletes). During lockdown, < 40% were able maintain sport-specific (e.g., long endurance [39%], interval [35%], weightlifting [33%], plyometric exercise [30%]) at pre-lockdown levels (higher among world-class, national athletes), most (83%) “general fitness health maintenance” lockdown. trained alone (80%) focused bodyweight (65%) cardiovascular (59%) exercise/training Compared reported reduced frequency (from between five seven sessions per week four or fewer), shorter ≥ 60 min), lower intensity (~ 38% reduction), irrespective athlete classification. Conclusions COVID-19-related saw marked reductions athletic specificity, duration, notable within-sample differences (by classification). Higher classification had strongest desire “maintain” greatest opposition “not training” lockdowns. These higher retained specificity degree than others, probably because preferential access limited resources. More correspondence” as did lockdown-mediated changes conducive maintenance progression athletes’ physical capacities also likely detrimental mental health. data can used policy makers, athletes, multidisciplinary teams modulate practice, individualization, current continued pandemic-related scenario. Furthermore, may drive educational resources teams. Such upskilling would provide evidence inform modifications germane situations COVID related, injury, illness).

Sixteen male elite fitness coaches (age: 29±3 years; height: 183±6 cm; body mass: 82±5 kg, mass index: 24.7±1.8 kg/m2) participated this retrospective study. One-way analysis variance was conducted to analyze selected PA, collected by smartwatch (Garmin Fenix 6 pro, USA) data during four consecutive months [i.e., pre-confinement, 1st 2nd confinement, post-confinement, year 2020]. Ramadan intermittent fasting (RIF) month occurred confinement. Compared significant changes registered for almost all and/or confinements (p<0.001), with (i) higher values resting heart rate, latency, total, light rapid eye movements times (% change=7-523 %), (ii) lower PA parameters, calories/day spent, average highest respiratory rates, deep time period change=5-36 %). During post-confinement month, regained pre-confinement values. In conclusion, confinement-induced detraining negatively influenced measurements cardiorespiratory among a deeper effect possibly due RIF.
