The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed everyday life across the world and dramatically affected how athletics operate. Since the return of high school sports, high school athletic trainers are now responsible for ensuring the safe return of athletes previously diagnosed with COVID-19 to sports. Due to the relatively recent identification of this novel virus, very little is understood about the long-term effects of COVID-19 infection on the cardiac and respiratory systems. Unfortunately, due to the rapid return of athletics, limited research is available regarding how athletes respond to COVID-19 and how it may affect their ability to return to play. Therefore, high school athletes previously diagnosed with COVID-19 should undergo a comprehensive medical evaluation with their physician and complete a graduated, medically supervised return-to-play protocol.
新冠疫情极大地改变了全球的日常生活，也极大地影响了竞技体育的运作方式。自高中体育赛事恢复以来，高中运动训练师现在负责确保以前被诊断患有 COVID-19 的运动员安全回归运动。由于这种新型病毒是最近才被发现的，因此对于 COVID-19 感染对心脏和呼吸系统的长期影响知之甚少。不幸的是，由于竞技体育的快速回归，关于运动员对 COVID-19 的反应以及 COVID-19 如何影响他们的比赛能力，相关研究非常有限。因此，以前被诊断患有 COVID-19 的高中运动员应在医生的指导下进行全面的医学评估，并完成分级的、医学监督的重返比赛方案。
