“…The most frequently performed exercises, which were also most popular for those who started exercising during the initial COVID-19 lockdown, included endurance, muscular strength, and multimodal exercise. However, these results must be interpreted cautiously because of potential confounders, although being well in line with results from previous studies on the effects of COVID-19, showing (a) increase in sport participation among less active groups of Austrian (Tyroleans) adults [23]; (b) changes in exercise type in athletes [24] and (c) a majority of participants performing their exercises alone [25]. It is not surprising that endurance, muscular strength, and multimodal exercise were chosen frequently.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic and the associated governmental restrictions suddenly changed everyday life and potentially affected exercise behavior. The aim of this study was to explore whether individuals changed their preference for certain types of physical exercise during the pandemic and to identify risk factors for inactivity. An international online survey with 13,881 adult participants from 18 countries/regions was conducted during the initial COVID-19 related lockdown (between April and May 2020). Data on types of exercise performed during and before the initial COVID-19 lockdown were collected, translated, and categorized (free-text input). Sankey charts were used to investigate these changes, and a mixed-effects logistic regression model was used to analyze risks for inactivity. Many participants managed to continue exercising but switched from playing games (e.g., football, tennis) to running, for example. In our sample, the most popular exercise types during the initial COVID-19 lockdown included endurance, muscular strength, and multimodal exercise. Regarding risk factors, higher education, living in rural areas, and physical activity before the COVID-19 lockdown reduced the risk for inactivity during the lockdown. In this relatively active multinational sample of adults, most participants were able to continue their preferred type of exercise despite restrictions, or changed to endurance type activities. Very few became physically inactive. It seems people can adapt quickly and that the constraints imposed by social distancing may even turn into an opportunity to start exercising for some. These findings may be helpful to identify individuals at risk and optimize interventions following a major context change that can disrupt the exercise routine.

“…Egzersiz döngüsü devam ettikçe, duygulanım ve ruh halindeki iyileşmeyi deneyimlemek için artan miktarda egzersize ihtiyaç duyulur. Öte yandan egzersiz eksikliği, olumlu ruh hallerinin zayıflamasına ve olumsuz ruh hallerinin artmasına neden olabilir (Aghababa, et al, 2021). Buda uzun süre PA yapmadan pandemi döneminde evde kısıtlı kalmış insanların biran önce kendini açık havaya atarak sağlıklarını ve eksik kalmış faaliyetlerini tamamlama isteklerini tetiklemiş olabilir.…”

Considering that Turkey is one of the countries most affected by Covid-19, long stays at home may have changed exercise attitudes and habits. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether the self-reported exercise attitudes and behaviors of those who exercise regularly change during quarantine. In the study, 1150 healthy adults residing in Turkey were evaluated using the cross-sectional method. The designed method consists of 5 parts and 49 items. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee (2022-61-05). The first part was used to determine the sociodemographic characteristics of the participants, the second part to determine the participants' exercise change phase, the third part to determine the exercise change processes, the fourth part to determine the exercise self-efficacy level, and the fifth part to determine the exercise decision-making balance. When the findings were examined, it was determined that the participants were at the stage of taking action immediately to exercise. Perceptions of exercise self-efficacy were moderate. The perceived benefits of exercising were more dominant. Exercise behavior and change processes, self-efficacy levels and decisionmaking balances of individuals who do individual sports were higher than those who do team sports. A positive correlation was found between the exercise change phase and exercise self-efficacy levels, the exercise change phase and the exercise decision-making balance, and the exercise self-efficacy levels and the exercise decisionmaking balances of the participants. There was a positive correlation between their status in the exercise change phase and their exercise change processes, and the exercise change phases and experiential and behavioralprocesses. The results show that in closure, people have the opportunity to re-evaluate themselves and will exercise frequently once closure ends. However, it was determined that their behavior could change frequently and they avoided helping relationships about exercise. Comprehensive studies involving different methods are needed in order to achieve healthier results.

“…O mau humor contínuo foi igualmente identificado neles (Özen, 2021;Turgut, 2020).O desencadeamento e a continuidade de estados de mau humor constituem um indicador da ausência de afeto tanto dado como recebido. Em certas situações, ele é um sinal preditivo do surgimento de depressão (Aghababa, 2021). A perduração desta alteração comportamental pode demandar intervenções terapêuticas clínicas caso estratégias psíquicas pessoais de enfrentamento não sejam elaboradas e postas em prática (Roberts & Lane, 2021;Szczypińska, 2021).…”

“…Maiores valores de inteligência emocional foram positivamente relacionados à manutenção da vontade de treinar, ainda que adaptada e não ideal, e à manutenção do bom humor . Em termos das características do tipo de modalidade praticada, os praticantes de esportes individuais sem contato corporal (tênis, ginástica artística, natação, atletismo) tiveram menos sessões domiciliares programadas de treino em comparação com os atletas de esportes individuais com contato físico (judô, wrestling, esgrima, jiu-jitsu) e os atletas de esportes coletivos (Aghababa, 2021).…”

A Pandemia de Covid-19 fez com que diversas atividades esportivas de alto rendimento fossem suspensas em todo o mundo. Estima-se que a obstrução de treinos, competições e contratos de trabalho dos atletas tenham gerado incertezas e inseguranças quanto ao futuro de suas carreiras. O objetivo da presente revisão consiste então em analisar os efeitos da Pandemia sobre as dimensões psíquicas e comportamentais de esportistas de rendimento. As bases de dados utilizadas para a revisão foram PubMed, BVS, Scopus e Web of Science. Um total de 1.116 artigos foram encontrados, dentre os quais 33 foram selecionados segundo a abordagem PRISMA. A qualidade dos artigos foi obtida pela aplicação da escala CASP. Os seguintes resultados foram obtidos: 1) sintomas de ansiedade, depressão, medo, mau humor, insônia, desordens alimentares, falta de otimismo e desmotivação para treinar acometeram os atletas; 2) fatores demográficos, etários, de gênero, tempo de prática e condições alternativas de treino influenciaram os comportamentos e o conteúdo das emoções dos atletas durante a pandemia; 3)o suporte social, a resiliência e a inteligência emocional mostraram-se elementos de atenuação das emoções e comportamentos negativos. Conclui-se que pandemia da Covid-19 pode ser um preditor negativo nas reações comportamentais e psíquicas de atletas de alto rendimento e esses efeitos sofrem influência de fatores etários, de gênero, do tipo de modalidade e da qualidade dos programas alternativos de treino propostos. Palavras-chave: Covid-19, pandemia, atletas, alterações emocionais, comportamento.

The following results were obtained: 1) symptoms of anxiety, depression, fear, bad mood, insomnia, eating disorders, lack of optimism and lack of motivation to train affected the athletes; 2) demographic, age, gender, practice time and alternative training conditions influenced athletes' behaviors and emotional content during the pandemic; 3) social support, resilience and emotional intelligence proved to be elements of attenuation of negative emotions and behaviors. It is concluded that the Covid-19 pandemic can be a negative predictor in the behavioral and psychic reactions of high performance athletes and these effects are influenced by age, gender, type of modality and the quality of the alternative training programs proposed. Key words: Covid-19, pandemic, athletes, emotional changes, behavior.
