The ongoing global pandemic brought about by Coronavirus II (SARS-Cov-2 or COVID-19) has caused an ongoing cessation of sporting competitions and training facility closures. This is a fundamental challenge for amateur and elite sporting professionals. Although recommendations have been provided for team-sport athletes to maintain general and sport-specific conditioning, these methods are often not optimal for strength athletes (i.e., powerlifting (PL) and weightlifting (WL)) due to the unique and narrow set of performance requirements posed by these sports. The purpose of this review is to provide evidence-based information and recommendations and highlight potential strategies and approaches that may be used by strength (PL and WL) athletes during the current global crisis. Collectively, we provide evidence from resistance training literature regarding the loss of muscle strength, power and mass, minimum training frequencies required to attenuate such losses and training re-adaptation. Additionally, we suggest that time off training and competition caused by ongoing restrictions may be used for other purposes, such as overcoming injury and improving movement quality and/or mobility, goal setting, psychological development and emphasizing strength sports for health. These suggestions are intended to be useful for coaches, strength athletes and organizations where existing training strategies and recommendations are not suitable or no longer feasible.
由新型冠状病毒2（严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2或新冠病毒-19）引发的全球疫情持续不断，导致体育赛事持续停摆，训练场馆关闭。这对业余和精英体育专业人士来说是一个根本性的挑战。尽管已为团队运动运动员提供了保持一般体能和专项运动体能的建议，但由于力量型运动员（即力量举（PL）和举重（WL）运动员）所从事运动的独特且狭窄的表现要求，这些方法对他们而言往往并非最佳选择。本综述的目的是提供基于证据的信息和建议，并强调力量型（PL和WL）运动员在当前全球危机期间可能采用的潜在策略和方法。总体而言，我们提供了来自抗阻训练文献的证据，内容涉及肌肉力量、功率和质量的损失，减轻此类损失所需的最低训练频率以及训练再适应。此外，我们建议，当前限制措施导致的训练和比赛暂停时间可用于其他目的，例如克服伤病、改善动作质量和/或灵活性、设定目标、心理发展以及强调力量运动对健康的益处。这些建议旨在对教练、力量型运动员以及现有训练策略和建议不适用或不再可行的组织有所帮助。
