“…Our findings have practical implications for coaching student-athletes during the pandemic or even extended offseason. Several researchers have recommended that coaches and trainers work with athletes to design training schedules that can be adapted for various levels of equipment access (Filiz et al, 2021). Moreover, Corcoran et al (2020) explained how they recorded a series of exercise videos for their athletes to demonstrate proper technique and to establish appropriate training loads and intensity.…”

“…Previous research shows that goal setting can reduce anxiety and increase motivation in sport (Hogue, 2020). Moreover, research shows that athletes benefit from social connectedness (Graupensperger et al, 2020;Filiz et al, 2021;Shepherd et al, 2021), so developing ways that teammates can connect remotely may be beneficial. As the motivational profile of an athlete may play a role in motivation to train, goal setting and regular team check-ins may be a way for athletes with higher levels of controlled motivation or amotivation to externally regulate the training behavior.…”

The sporting season across post-secondary institutions was canceled in March 2020 due to COVID-19, and student-athletes had to maintain their training at home. It is unclear what personal and contextual factors facilitated student-athletes' ability to maintain their training routines at home when social distancing and lockdown (SD/L) policies were put in place. Our cross-sectional study of 433 student-athletes examined (a) how athletes adapted their training, (b) what training barriers they experienced, (c) whether motivational profiles were associated with differences in training behaviors and mental health, and (d) what variables predicted athletes' motivation to train during this prolonged offseason. Student-athletes across Canada were recruited to complete an online survey between August and September 2020. Results showed that athletes significantly reduced their training load and intensity, with approximately 25% exercising two or fewer days a week. Barriers to training included limited access to fitness resources and equipment, having inconsistent training schedules, and experiencing emotional distractions, with some of these barriers more common among female athletes than male athletes. For motivation profiles, athletes with higher levels of intrinsic motivation tended to maintain the intensity of their workouts and experienced lower mood disturbance. A hierarchical multiple regression revealed that being male, being younger, having higher levels of intrinsic and introjected motivation, having access to fitness resources, maintaining a steady training schedule, having fewer emotional distractions, and lower mood disturbance were significant predictors to being motivated to train during the pandemic. We discuss strategies coaches and trainers can implement to best support their student-athletes.
