COVID-19-induced quarantine may lead to deleterious effects on health status as well as to impaired performance and increased injury risk when re-starting training after lockdown. We investigated the physical activity (PA) habits of recreational runners in Spain during a 48-day home quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic and the characteristics of the first outdoor running session after confinement. A cross-sectional study, including a self-reported running questionnaire completed after the first outdoor running session after quarantine, was performed. Three hundred recreational runners (74% males; 60% 18-40 years old; most typical running experience >3 years, 10-30 km weekly running distance distributed in 3-4 sessions) were considered for analysis. Advanced runners ran, at least, 4 days/week and participated in running events. They performed significantly longer and more non-supervised weekly training sessions during confinement ( < 0.01 for both) than novice and amateur runners. Most runners performed their first outdoor running session on asphalt (65.3%) and ran 5 to 10 km (61%) at a pace above 5 min/km (60%), reporting no pain before (77%), during (64%), and 24 h after (76%) the session. Advanced runners performed a significantly longer running session, at a higher pace, and covered a greater distance ( < 0.01 for all) than novice and amateur runners, while enjoyment and motivation tended to be significantly higher when runners' level increased ( < 0.05). Higher training levels prior to and during confinement may lower the collateral effects (e.g., detraining, injury risk) of home quarantine when runners return to previous PA levels.
COVID-19 引发的隔离可能对健康状况产生有害影响，并且在封锁后重新开始训练时会导致表现下降和受伤风险增加。我们调查了西班牙休闲跑步者在 COVID-19 大流行期间进行的 48 天家庭隔离期间的体育活动（PA）习惯，以及禁闭后首次户外跑步的特点。进行了一项横断面研究，包括在隔离后首次户外跑步后的自我报告跑步问卷。共纳入 300 名休闲跑步者（74%为男性；60%年龄在 18-40 岁之间；最典型的跑步经验> 3 年，每周跑步距离为 10-30 公里，分布在 3-4 次）进行分析。高级跑步者每周至少跑步 4 天，参加跑步比赛。与新手和业余跑步者相比，他们在隔离期间进行了更长时间和更多非监督的每周训练（均<0.01）。大多数跑步者在柏油路面上进行了首次户外跑步（65.3%），以超过 5 分钟/公里（60%）的速度跑 5 到 10 公里（61%），在跑步过程中没有出现疼痛报告（77%），在跑步过程中（64%）和跑步后 24 小时（76%）。与新手和业余跑步者相比，高级跑步者进行了更长时间、更高速度和更大距离的跑步（均<0.01），而随着跑步者水平的提高，享受和动力往往更高（<0.05）。在禁闭前和禁闭期间进行更高水平的训练可能会降低居家隔离对跑步者恢复之前的体育活动水平时的副作用（例如，脱训，受伤风险）。
