“…In previous studies, it was reported that the COVID-19 pandemic period affected the mental health of athletes negatively (Di Fronso et al 2020;Håkansson et al 2020;Şenışık et al 2020;Lautenbach et al 2020;Dönmez et al 2021). Our findings contribute to these studies by showing that being infected with COVID-19 may also have negative effects on the psychological states of athletes.…”

“…In our opinion, given that the psychological states of athletes were negatively affected by the pandemic and restrictions, being infected with COVID-19 would be another major concern. (Di Fronso et al 2020;Håkansson et al 2020;Şenışık et al 2020;Lautenbach et al 2020;Dönmez et al 2021). However, according to our knowledge, there are no studies examining the mental health of athletes who were infected by COVID-19.…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychological state of professional male football players who were infected by COVID-19. Method: The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale 21 and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale were sent to players' smartphones by sharing a link to the questionnaire. A total of 523 professional football players aged between 18-38 years from 93 different sports clubs participated in the study. The players were divided into 2 groups according to Sars-COV-2 PCR test results. Results: Depression, anxiety, stress, and psychological distress scores of football players who were infected by COVID-19 were higher compared to players who were not infected by COVID-19 (all p < 0.001). Depression, stress, and psychological distress scores were higher for football players with higher loss of income than players with lower loss of income (p = 0.017, p = 0.007, p = 0.005, respectively). There were significant differences in anxiety, depression, and psychological distress scores in favor of the 18-22-year age group (p = 0.002, p = 0.009, p = 0.004, respectively). Conclusion: COVID-19 infection negatively affects the psychological states of football players. The psychological states of professional football players who were infected by COVID-19 should be monitored closely and psychological support should be provided.

Background: The ongoing global pandemic has become the world's leading health problem, causing massive public fear and concern. Reports suggest that athletes are seeking mental health support, showing the pressures of boredom, and tension associated with their anticipated social isolation. The current study seeks to evaluate the evidence regarding the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on occupational stress in professional athletes.Method: A scoping review was conducted. A comprehensive search involving Embase and PubMed databases was conducted using a combination of the following key words: COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, coronavirus, and athletes. In this study, articles were retained if they were original studies reporting on the impact of the pandemic on professional athletes.Results: Nine studies were identified as they investigated the impact of the pandemic on athletes. Most were observational and cross-sectional, and one was longitudinal. Outcome measures mainly investigated were level of depression, anxiety, and stress. Dependent variables were physical activity, nutrition, mental state, sleep quality, individual well-being, social identity, exclusivity, negative affectivity, alcohol consumption, psychological distress, and gambling habits.Conclusions: This review highlights the need for proactive engagement with professional athletes, coaches, trainers, and sports councils to facilitate understanding and awareness-raising, process optimization, and delivery of consistent training and psychosocial aid and occupational therapy programs that maintain the health and well-being of athletes while minimizing occupational stress during a pandemic.

“…Não se tem respostas seguras quanto a prazos e definições (da Silveira, da Silva Fagundes, Bizuti, Starck & e Silva, 2020), o que dificultou qualquer planejamento de curto, médio ou longo prazo de técnicos e federações. O dia a dia do atleta foi alterado e com ele surgiram sintomas de depressão e ansiedade (da Silveira, da Silva Fagundes, Bizuti, Starck & e Silva, 2020;Şenışık, Denerel, Köyağasıoğlu & Tunç, 2021) que foram semelhantes em atletas de esportes coletivos e atletas de esportes individuais (Şenışık, Denerel, Köyağasıoğlu & Tunç, 2021).…”

As Olimpíadas e as Paralimpíadas são bem esperados por todos. É simplesmente o maior evento esportivo do mundo, que reúne milhares de atletas de centenas de países diferentes e foi completamente atingido pela Pandemia da COVID-19. Ninguém contava que ações biológicas, SARS-CoV-2, poderiam modificar todo o cenário esportivo mundial. Dessa maneira, o estudo se propôs discutir sobre política, biossegurança e a realização dos Jogos Olímpicos e Paralímpicos. Apesar das campanhas de vacinação o mundo ainda não está livre da pandemia da COVID-19. Tóquio encontra-se em estado de emergência atualmente em vigor. Ao final dos Jogos, o que será mais impactante, o maior acesso à vacinação pelos países ricos, que devem deter o maior número de medalhas, ou as intervenções políticas por instituições que têm interesses comerciais em Tóquio 2020?
