The Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the Psychosomatic Status of Athletes and Sports Stakeholders

Abstract

This paperprovides an overview of the Covid-19 pandemic that has struck the world, the Republic of Croatia, the City of Zadar and it's athletes and other sports stakeholders. The impact has significant consequences on health, the economy, and people's daily lives. It will be shown how and to what extent, the lack of sports activities affects the psychosomatic status of athletes and other sports participants and whether media broadcasts can replace the holding of "normal competitions" and also, the question arises as to whether online training is an adequate complement to the regular training process. The results of the research show that with all digital technology, it is still determined that the new virtual training violates the psychosomatic status of athletes and employees in sports. Online training is only partially an appropriate replacement for the regular training process. Also, there is significantly less interest in sports competitions without the presence of fans.

It is strongly suggested to exercise during the isolation period depending on the equipment availability and with guidance and monitoring by a strength and conditioning coach and physiologist (Toresdahl & Asif, 2020).…”
