Due to the rapid rate of spread of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, a number of restrictions have been introduced into public spaces, including those related to the operation of sports facilities, compounding the difficulty for athletes to conduct appropriate forms of training. The aim of this study was to review current scientific reports assessing the impact of the pandemic on the physical activity, mental state, and quality of life of professional athletes. Popular scientific databases-PubMed, Scopus, and Embase-were systematically searched from the beginning of the pandemic until 12 July 2021. According to the adopted criteria, 14 articles were included in the review. Ten of the qualified studies determined the impact of the pandemic on the physical activity of athletes. The authors of 11 papers assessed the mental state and quality of life of athletes during the pandemic. The studies showed negative effects of the pandemic: a decrease in overall physical fitness and number of days and hours of training, as well as an increase in the occurrence of negative emotions (stress, fatigue, and depression) and a decrease in sleep quality. Changes in physical activity had an impact on overall well-being ratings, which depended on the sex of the subjects. Women were more likely to experience negative emotions compared to men. The mental state of the athletes affected the quality of sleep. This review summarises the negative effects of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic on the physical and mental health of professional athletes.
由于 SARS-CoV-2 冠状病毒的快速传播速度，公共空间引入了许多限制，包括与体育设施运行有关的限制，这使得运动员更难以进行适当形式的训练。本研究旨在综述当前评估大流行对职业运动员身体活动、精神状态和生活质量影响的科学报告。从大流行开始到 2021 年 7 月 12 日，我们系统地在流行科学数据库-PubMed、Scopus 和 Embase 中进行了搜索。根据采用的标准，有 14 篇文章被纳入综述。合格研究中有 10 项确定了大流行对运动员身体活动的影响。11 篇论文的作者评估了运动员在大流行期间的精神状态和生活质量。研究表明大流行产生了负面影响：整体身体健康状况和训练天数及时间减少，以及负面情绪（压力、疲劳和抑郁）的发生增加，睡眠质量下降。身体活动的变化对整体幸福感评分有影响，这取决于受试者的性别。与男性相比，女性更有可能经历负面情绪。运动员的精神状态影响睡眠质量。本综述总结了 SARS-CoV-2 冠状病毒大流行对职业运动员身心健康的负面影响。
