“…Some athletes used this time out of competitive sport to recover from past injuries and acknowledged their willingness to play hurt. Schneider et al (2019) suggested that participation in competitive sport despite being injured is risky, but a common occurrence in athletes. The authors reported that the older the athlete the higher the inclination for self-exploitation and self-endangerment as reflected in their willingness to “play hurt.” Others reflected on how the pause in their athletic schedule had allowed them to engage in non-sport related hobbies and build relationships with family and friends.…”

Countries all over the globe have implemented mandatory social distancing measures in an attempt to suppress and control the spread of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19). This enforced period of isolation, disruption to normal training routines and competition cancellation, could be having an adverse effect on the mental health and wellbeing of athletes. This study sought to explore the perceived impact of the COVID-19 social distancing measures on athlete wellbeing. Fourteen elite athletes who were unable to train or compete due to government imposed lockdown measures were recruited to participate in this qualitative study. Utilising the photo elicitation method, participants were asked to take a series of photographs that represented their experiences as athletes living in lockdown. These photographs were used to guide discussions in follow up unstructured interviews. Reflexive inductive thematic analysis identified three main themes that captured athletes’ experience of social distancing measures and the implications for their wellbeing: (1) threats to wellbeing; (2) adapting routines and maintaining motivation; and (3) reflecting on participation in competitive elite sport. The initial sudden loss of sport in the athlete’s lives posed a threat to their wellbeing, but over the duration of the lockdown period the athletes developed numerous strategies to protect their wellbeing. Furthermore, their time away from sport encouraged them to reflect on their athletic identity and to make life changes that would protect their wellbeing during the rest of the lockdown period and when they returned to sport. A number of immediate practical recommendations are offered for athlete support personnel working with athletes during the crisis, these include developing self-care strategies and social networks, adapting routines, setting new goals and encouraging the pursuit of dual-careers. Future research is encouraged to investigate how practitioners can deliver effective psychological support through tele-consulting, and to consider whether their support is best focused on therapeutic counselling or mental skills training during the pandemic.

“…Erhebungen der ACHE Study (Adolescents and Children's Health in Elite Basketball Study) bei weiblichen und männlichen Nachwuchsbasketballern (n = 182) der höchsten deutschen nationalen Ligen weisen ebenfalls auf eine hohe Bereitschaft zum Competing Hurt hin. Während der Erhebung litten 8 von 10 Befragten unter Schmerzen, 39 % würden trotz körperlicher Einschränkung und 34 % sogar bei akuten Gelenkschmerzen spielen [12].…”

Regelmäßige körperliche Aktivität ist mit einer Vielzahl an präventivmedizinisch erstrebenswerten Begleiterscheinungen verbunden und leistet somit einen bedeutsamen Beitrag zu einer gesunden Lebensführung. In der Welt des Leistungssports befinden sich die Athleten allerdings auf einer ständigen Gratwanderung zwischen Gesundheitsschutz und Gesundheitsgefährdung, bedingt durch kontinuierlich zu erbringende Höchstleistungen in Training und Wettkampf. Schmerzen und Verletzungen sind dabei fortwährende athletische Wegbegleiter und das damit verbundene Competing Hurt gehört zum leistungssportlichen Tagesgeschäft dazu, auch bereits im Nachwuchsbereich. Neben verschiedenen schmerzbedingten Bewältigungsmechanismen spielt die weitverbreitete unkritische Schmerzmitteleinnahme eine besonders gesundheitsgefährdende Rolle. Ein umfassendes Umdenken aller sportlichen Akteure im Umgang mit Schmerzen und speziell hinsichtlich des Schmerzmitteleinsatzes ist dringend erforderlich.

“…According to this hypothesis, children and adolescents learn antisocial behaviour specifically through sport (Greve, 2013), e.g. deliberately fouling their opponent ("tactical foul"), denying rule violations, simulating and acting deceptively during matches (Segrave & Hastad, 1982, Schneider et al, 2019. This highlights the importance of coaches, trainers and teachers having appropriate pedagogical training in order to avoid an irresolvable discrepancy between requirements and capabilities, unfair communication and antisocial behavioural rules.…”

“…However, on the other hand, health must deliberately be put at risk in training and in matches in order to mobilise crucial resources. Younger athletes thus often only draw attention to somatic complaints at a very late stage or try to conceal these (Dyke, 2013;Schneider et al, 2019;Thiel, Mayer, & Digel, 2010). This is also true of psychosocial problems, which are often treated as a taboo subject due to the strong focus that is placed on the physical aspects of sport, particularly at an elite level (Dyke, 2013;Thiel et al, 2010).…”

Due to its multifaceted effects, sport is referred to as a “polypill” and compared with pleiotropic drugs. This article summarises the biopsychosocial effects of sport. Particular attention is given to the psychological and social effects of physical activity on children and adolescents. Firstly, sport is defined according to its various forms of organisation followed by a description of the individual effects on physical, psychological and social resources. These range from motor performance abilities (conditioning and coordinative abilities) as well as from cognitive, emotional and motivational aspects to social skills. Although sport – particularly regular physical exercise – can strengthen physical, psychological and social resources, it is also true that non-physiological stresses, inadequate supervision and normative structures still have the potential to induce harm at an individual level. Furthermore, socialisation and enculturation processes relevant to children and adolescents are integrated in the model. The skills learned through sport, particularly psychological and social skills, can thus become important in other areas of life too. The model proposed here can be used in both university and non-university teaching as well as for planning specific studies and training approaches. Keywords: physical activity, athletes, child, adolescent, sport psychology, sport sociology
