“…The most widely investigated psychological variable was anxiety, representing 20.45% of the studies. Anxiety levels were the most common measure in the studies ( Esteves et al, 2020 , 2021 ; Evli et al, 2020 ; Håkansson et al, 2020 ; Ivarsson et al, 2021 ; Lima et al, 2021 ; Madsen et al, 2021 ; Mehrsafar et al, 2021 ; Wagemans et al, 2021 ). The results of most of the studies demonstrated increased anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic.…”

“…In addition, the complex psychosocial situation of confinement has caused important changes and serious damage to the quality and quantity of training of athletes, and these factors have brought many uncertainties about the future of the sports environment ( Andreato et al, 2020 ). Factors such as the abrupt change in their daily routine, the home confinement measures adopted, and uncertainty about the date of return to activities can lead athletes to experience conditions that affect their mental health, including external sources of distress, anxiety, mood swings, and other concerns and tensions ( Evli et al, 2020 ; Jansen, 2021 ; Romdhani et al, 2022 ).…”

IntroductionInvestigation of the psychological impact on soccer athletes during the pandemic is essential given their unique challenges, including training disruptions and competition postponements. Understanding these effects will allow the development of specific strategies to preserve the mental health and performance of elite athletes, contributing to effective interventions with both short and long-term benefits.ObjectiveTo analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the psychological aspects and mental health of elite soccer athletes.MethodThe review adhered to PRISMA criteria, and the study protocol was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD42022341545). Searches were conducted until July 2023 in databases including Cochrane, PsycINFO, PubMed, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science. Only original, peer-reviewed studies in English, Portuguese, or Spanish assessing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the psychological aspects and mental health of elite soccer athletes were included.ResultsThe search identified 1,055 records and 43 studies were included in this review between 2020 and 2023. In total, the sample included 16,321 soccer athletes of different age groups. Anxiety, depression, mood states, and mental well-being were the most investigated variables. Increased levels of anxiety, depression, and worsening mental well-being were observed in elite soccer athletes. Maintaining fitness during the pandemic showed positive results. Other variables, such as coping, resilience, and sleep quality monitoring, were less widely investigated. Evaluating methodological quality was considered regular for observational and experimental studies.ConclusionThe study reveals a negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on elite soccer athletes, considering psychological aspects and their mental health, notably heightened anxiety and depression. Observational methods predominated, showing mood swings linked to individual characteristics and fitness maintenance efforts. Studies with better-designed methodological approaches and controlled experimental interventions are recommended in the future to mitigate the negative effects of the pandemic on soccer players.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?, identifier (CRD42022341545).

“…In this business area, every athlete is seen as a product of that club and marketed on a global basis. Every profession has its difficulties, but the stress, anxiety and worry created by the competition, the audience, the media and the team of the athletes cause threatening psychological and physiological diseases (Evli et al, 2020). Physical education in schools is a very important lesson for raising healthy generations, gaining sports habits, developing talents and physical beauty.…”

Football is known to be associated with a relatively high injury rate. This study was carried out in order to reveal the differentiation status of football attitudes and injury concerns of football players according to some variables and their interactions with each other. Methods: In the study, the “Football Attitude Scale” and the “Sports Injury Anxiety Scale” were used. 202 amateur football players actively playing in 8 clubs in Bahçelievler, Başakşehir, Esenyurt and Sarıyer districts of Istanbul province participated voluntarily. Since the data showed normal distribution, Independent Simple Test, One Way Anova, Correlation and Regression analyzes were used. Results: 62.4% of the participants stated that they had an injury that lasted more than 0-7 days, 52.5% of them received treatment after injury and 44.1% of them stated that they had surgery due to sports injuries. According to the findings, the football attitudes of the participants; differs significantly according to age, education level, being treated for sports injury, and having surgery from a sports injury. Injury anxiety in sports differs significantly according to age, education level, having a sports injury, being treated for a sports injury and having surgery from a sports injury. Conclusion: As a result, as the individual effects score of football players, which is one of the sub-dimensions of football attitude, increases, the anxiety of injury in sports increases; anxiety about suffering, loss of social support, and re-injury also increases. As social interaction scores increase, the anxiety of losing social support also increases. In addition, as the performance scores of football players increase their anxiety about losing their talent decreases. The predictive power of football attitude about injury anxiety in sports was examined and it was found that the total variance predicted 13%. From football attitude sub-dimensions, 1 point standard deviation change of individual effects increases 17% in sports injury anxiety, and 1 point standard deviation change in social interaction increases 22% in sports injury anxiety. A 1-point standard deviation change of performance, one of the sub-dimensions of football attitude, reduces injury anxiety in sports by 16%. Psychological effects, one of the sub-dimensions of football attitude, do not seem to predict the total score of the sports injury anxiety scale. Futbolun nispeten yüksek bir yaralanma oranı ile ilişkili olduğu bilinmektedir. Futbol oyuncularının futbol tutumu ile yaralanma kaygısının bazı değişkenlere göre farklılaşma durumlarını ve birbiriyle olan etkileşimini ortaya koymak amacıyla bu çalışma gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yöntem: Araştırmada, Kayapınar ve Combul (2021) tarafından geliştirilen “Futbol Tutum Ölçeği” ile Caz, Kayhan ve Bardakçı (2019) tarafından geçerlik ve güvenirliği yapılan “Spor Yaralanması Kaygı Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Araştırmaya, İstanbul ilinin Bahçelievler, Başakşehir, Esenyurt ve Sarıyer ilçesine bağlı 8 kulüpte aktif oynayan amatör 202 futbol oyuncusu, gönüllü katılım sağlamıştır. Veriler normal dağılım gösterdiğinden Independent Simple Test, One Way Anova, Korelasyon ve Regresyon analizleri kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların %62,4’ü daha önce 0-7 günden fazla süren sakatlık yaşadığını, %52,5’i sakatlık sonrası tedavi gördüğünü ve %44,1’i de spor sakatlığından dolayı ameliyat olduğunu belirtmiştir. Bulgulara göre katılımcıların futbol tutumları; yaşa, eğitim durumlarına, spor sakatlığı tedavisi görme durumlarına ve spor sakatlığından ameliyat olma durumuna göre anlamlı düzeyde farklılaşmaktadır. Sporda yaralanma kaygısı ise yaşa, eğitim durumuna, spor sakatlığı yaşama durumuna, spor sakatlığı tedavisi görme ve spor sakatlığından ameliyat olma durumuna göre anlamlı düzeyde farklılaşmaktadır. Sonuç: futbol oyuncularının, futbol tutumunun alt boyutlarından bireysel etkiler puanı arttıkça sporda yaralanma kaygısından; acı çekme, sosyal desteği kaybetme ve yeniden yaralanma kaygısı da artmaktadır. Toplumsal etkileşim puanları arttıkça da sosyal desteği kaybetme kaygısı da artmaktadır. Ayrıca futbol oyuncularının, performans puanları arttıkça yeteneğini kaybetme kaygısı azalmaktadır. Futbol tutumunun, sporda yaralanma kaygısını yordama gücü incelenmiş ve toplam varyansın %13 yordadığı tespit edilmiştir. Futbol tutumu alt boyutlarından, bireysel etkilerin 1 puanlık standart sapma değişimi sporda yaralanma kaygısında %17 artırmaktadır ve toplumsal etkileşim 1 puanlık standart sapma değişimi sporda yaralanma kaygısında %22 artırmaktadır. Futbol tutumu alt boyutlarından performansın 1 puanlık standart sapma değişimi sporda yaralanma kaygısını %16 azaltmaktadır. Futbol tutumu alt boyutlarından psikolojik etkiler ise sporda yaralanma kaygısı ölçek toplam puanını yordamadığı görülmektedir.

“…Soccer, not running away from reality, has also stopped in all spheres from the professional to the formation (Evli, Gidik, & Cerit, 2020;Fabre et al, 2020). The game of soccer has long ago ceased to be just an instrument of entertainment and leisure and has nowadays turned into goods and services and become a product that is marketed to the public and/or fans on a universal basis (Callejo & Forcadell, 2006;Kennedy & Kennedy, 2020).…”

“…(Kurak & Açak, 2019;Mossman & Cronin, 2019).The development of competencies such as time management, communication, leadership, cooperation, highlights the importance of the practice of soccer in the younger age groups(Cronin et al, 2019;Kurak & Açak, 2019) Another important factor during this pandemic period of withdrawal from sports was to control anxiety levels in soccer athletes(Esteves et al, 2020;Evli et al, 2020). Obviously, athletes who are used to performing a daily training routine and the period of uncertainty about the return of soccer ended up intensely influencing all soccer players, especially the athletes(Evli et al, 2020). Although anxiety is one of the preponderant factors in the athletes' journey in general, in the pandemic context it can be seen from another perspective, which was the uncertainty of when they were supposed to return to their activities (Castro-Sanchez, Zurita-Ortega, Chacon-Cuberos, & Lozano-Sanchez, 2019; Esteves et al, 2020).…”
