“…[52]; -Use forms of self-assessment (heart rate monitoring, hearth rate variability, hearth rate recovery, orthostatic test, simple movement functional tests, simple VO2max tests, etc.) that an athlete can use on a daily basis and share data with a strength and conditioning coach [53]; -Establish daily monitoring of the athlete's health, wellness, physical fitness, recovery [54] and workload by using technology (phone, applications, e-mail, text message) [55]; -Even though many athletes are not currently injured, the time off is similar to the time off after an injury [56]; -Finally, muscle memory is important to educate athletes, given that any losses are rapidly regained. This should quell some anxiety [57].…”

In December of 2019, there was an outbreak of a severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by the Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2 or in China. The virus rapidly spread into the whole World causing an unprecedented pandemic and forcing governments to impose a global quarantine, entering an extreme unknown situation. The organizational consequences of quarantine/isolation are: absence of organized training and competition, lack of communication among athletes and coaches, inability to move freely, lack of adequate sunlight exposure, inappropriate training conditions. Based on the current scientific, we strongly recommend encouraging the athlete to reset their mindset to understand quarantine as an opportunity for development, organizing appropriate guidance, educating and encourage athletes to apply appropriate preventive behavior and hygiene measures to promote immunity and ensuring good living isolation conditions. The athlete's living space should be equipped with cardio and resistance training equipment (portable bicycle or rowing ergometer). Some forms of body mass resistance circuit-based training could promote aerobic adaptation. Sports skills training should be organized based on the athlete's needs. Personalized conditioning training should be carried out with emphasis on neuromuscular performance. Athletes should also be educated about nutrition (Vitamin D and proteins) and hydration. Strategies should be developed to control body composition. Mental fatigue should be anticipated and mental controlled. Adequate methods of recovery should be provided. Daily monitoring should be established. This is an ideal situation in which to rethink personal life, understanding the situation, that can be promoted in these difficult times that affect practically the whole world.

“…Sport scientists have examined a wide array of modalities to enhance recovery from the damaging collisions of rugby match play, some of which may mildly alleviate symptoms (12). However, despite multiple interventions being implemented, we have reported that elite rugby players are in pain every day throughout a competitive rugby season (13).…”

“…nutritional or pharmacological interventions and physiological issues such as active recovery, massage, cryotherapy or heat therapy). 5 , 6 However, the effects of a regular use of recovery methods on long-term adaptations to training are poorly studied, especially in field condition in elite athletes. Indeed, emphasis is often placed on acute effects of recovery on acute symptoms of exercise-mediated muscle damage but chronic adaptations may be affected by recovery choices.…”

This study aimed to investigate the effects of regular hot water bathing (HWB), undertaken 10 min after the last training session of the day, on chronic adaptations to training in elite athletes. Six short-track (ST) speed skaters completed four weeks of post-training HWB and four weeks of post-training passive recovery (PR) according to a randomized cross-over study. During HWB, participants sat in a jacuzzi (40 °C; 20 min). According to linear mixed models, maximal isometric strength of knee extensor muscles was significantly increased for training with HWB (p < 0.0001; d = 0.41) and a tendency (p = 0.0529) was observed concerning . No significant effect of training with PR or HWB was observed for several variables (p > 0.05), including aerobic peak power output, the decline rate of jump height during 1 min-continuous maximal countermovement jumps (i.e. anaerobic capacity index), and the force-velocity relationship. Regarding specific tasks on ice, a small effect of training was found on both half-lap time and total time during a 1.5-lap all-out exercise (p = 0.0487; d = 0.23 and p = 0.0332; d = 0.21, respectively) but no additional effect of HWB was observed. In summary, the regular HWB protocol used in this study can induce additional effects on maximal isometric strength without compromising aerobic and anaerobic adaptations or field performance in these athletes.
