“…Számos országban feltárták, hogy a társadalmi távolságtartás intézkedései miatt jelentősen csökkent a fizikai aktivitással töltött idő (CONSTANDT et al, 2020;AMMAR et al, 2020;YANG et al, 2022). A világjárvány hatására a társadalom sportfogyasztási szokásaiban lényeges változások következtek be (ÁCS et al, 2021;KESHKAR -KAREGAR, 2021). A korlátozások miatt az egyéni szabadidősport edzésformák, az otthonainkban elvégezhető beltéri tevékenységek váltak népszerűvé (KATSAROVA et al, 2021;CORTIS et al, 2020).…”

Physical activity can be used for any movement/exercise involving energy expenditure. Scientific research discusses the issue of older adults' physical activity. It is a common principle that an active lifestyle positively impacts older adults' quality of life and life expectancy. During the period of the coronavirus, it was revealed in many countries that the time spent on physical activity decreased significantly due to social distancing measures. Due to the pandemic, there have been significant changes in the society's sports consumption habits. Our research aims to examine and present the changes in the physical activity of the age group above 60 before the coronavirus and during the period of restrictions and quarantines due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For the analysis, we used data examining the first three waves of the COVID-19 epidemic collected by the Physical Activity Research Group of the Faculty of Health Sciences of the University of Pécs. In the examined periods, a "U"-"-shaped trend can be observed in the development of the physical activity of the 60-69 years age group. In the pre-coronavirus period, the level and intensity of the weekly physical activity of older adults began to decrease after the introduction of the lockdowns. Then, they continued to increase during the successive epidemic waves. The average duration of physical activity (minutes/week) at the second wave and the intensity of physical activity (METs) exceeded the pre-pandemic state significantly by the time of the third wave. As physical activity started to increase in the 60-69 age group during the second and third wave of the coronavirus, it would be essential to maintain an active lifestyle in the later period as well. Physical activity benefits people of all ages and can reduce the burden on the healthcare system.

“…This environment, referred to as the interaction between interpersonal relationships among individuals within a social setting (Shaw, 1981), impacts a student-athlete's social behavior (Benson & Bruner, 2018). However, with the social restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this isolation has significantly impacted the sports industry (Keshkar & Karegar, 2022), including sports media (Horky, 2020). During this time, competitions were suddenly disrupted, but as team sports were temporarily halted, some individual sports gained popularity amid the period of isolation, such as chess (Fuentes-Garcia et al, 2020), cycling (Budi et al, 2021), and esports (Crone, 2022).…”

Sports aim to enhance an individual’s formation through organized physical and mental involvement. As sports participation promotes teamwork and dedication, athletes develop sportsmanship, mindfulness, and mental toughness, which brings out their confidence. While the COVID-19 pandemic has caused distress and tested the resilience of people, the effects of the situation on student-athlete mindset and competitiveness remain unresolved. With Bandura’s Self-Efficacy Theory as its foreshadowing theory, this qualitative study focused on the experiences of 10 high school to collegiate student-athletes from a private university in Manila who were asked about their mindsets during the COVID-19 pandemic. After analyzing the data from the transcribed interviews through thematic analysis and the use of the Tracy Coding Matrix, findings revealed the effects of Bandura’s sources of self-efficacy expectations that influenced the student-athletes’ will to win, particularly performance accomplishments, vicarious experience, verbal persuasion, and emotional arousal. The researchers found that sports affect student-athletes’ competitive mindsets by developing their traits, such as self-confidence, motivation, self-assurance, self-reformation, and wellness. Although sports participation also caused feelings of insecurity and pressure among the participants, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, student-athletes were able to adapt, particularly through being supported by their environment. With this, some of the findings suggest that a social circle's presence may ignite student-athletes' drive for victory but may also demotivate them. Finally, the findings of the study may be used to understand student-athlete behavior and strategies such as positive reinforcement and goal-setting may be used to improve their mentalities.

“…The pandemic has resulted in significant financial losses for the sports industry as a consequence of the cancellation of major international competitions, including the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. It is well known that athletes suffer not only financial losses but also significant physical, nutritional, and psychological harm, affecting their competitive and performance capacity [ 16 , 17 ]. Thus, Makarowski et al (2020) [ 18 ] state that the pandemic had no serious effect on the level of psychological stress among athletes because behavioral disengagement allowed the athletes’ subjective stress to be reduced.…”

This study aimed to explore the impact of the first two waves of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental and physical states of sports students from Romania and also to compare the differences according to gender and the type of sport. Initially, in order to collect demographic data and health reports, a cross-sectional survey was developed to evaluate the emotional needs of sports students during the pandemic. After the second wave, the coping strategies used by the participants to fight negative emotions were assessed using the CERQ questionnaire. The results indicate that depression symptoms are the most reported psychological issues among the participants and that there are differences according to gender concerning the cognitive schemas they use in order to reduce the symptoms. Also, it was found that there are differences, corresponding to the type of sport, in choosing adaptive coping mechanisms. Ultimately, it was confirmed that higher levels of hopelessness among sports students are associated with increased vulnerability to substance use, with the correlation between those two indicators being strong. Delving deeper into this relationship can help identify critical points for intervention to prevent substance abuse. At the same time, the dichotomic analysis of the results found as moderators—the gender and the type of sport in decreasing the severity of depression could be an important aspect of the next counseling interventions.
