To combat the spread of SARS-CoV-2, CrossFit® training centers, and fitness studios were closed during the first lockdown in Germany from mid-March until June 2020, and as a result, CrossFit® (CFA) or weightlifting athletes (WLA) faced a major challenge for the first time. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the impact of the first lockdown on the training behavior and to analyze the way the athletes dealt with the new situation. In detail, we focus on habits of purchase and examine the acceptance of digital sports offers between CFA and WLA in response to the restrictions of the nationwide lockdown.
An online survey was used to characterize the purchasing behavior and use of digital sports offers of CFA and WLA. In total, 484 volunteers (192 women, 290 men, 2 diverse) responded to the online questionary, allowing us to identify changes in training behavior and differences between the sports disciplines.
Our data shows both CFA and WLA purchase new equipment for a home gym and the use of digital sports increased significantly across all age groups. A comparison during the lockdown even showed that within the CFA, one group (n = 142) reported losing 5 kg or more of body mass, while the value of the WLA remained constant. On the one hand, the results indicate that despite the restrictions during the lockdown, CFA were may able to enhance health aspects by improving their body composition. On the other hand, this study shows that the training habits of both groups of athletes have changed significantly with the use of digital sports offers.
We suppose that the great openness and the expansion of online sports offers during the first lockdown may change the sports industry in the future.
为抗击新型冠状病毒肺炎（SARS-CoV-2）的传播，德国从2020年3月中旬至6月首次封锁期间，CrossFit®训练中心和健身工作室关闭，因此，CrossFit®（CFA）或举重运动员（WLA）首次面临重大挑战。因此，本研究旨在调查首次封锁对训练行为的影响，并分析运动员应对新情况的方式。具体而言，我们关注购买习惯，并研究CFA和WLA对数字体育产品的接受情况，以应对全国封锁的限制。
采用在线调查来描述CFA和WLA的购买行为和数字体育产品的使用情况。共有484名志愿者（192名女性、290名男性、2名其他）回复了在线问卷，使我们能够确定训练行为的变化以及体育项目之间的差异。
我们的数据显示，CFA和WLA都购买了新的家庭健身设备，并且所有年龄组对数字体育产品的使用都显著增加。封锁期间的一项比较甚至显示，在CFA中，一组（n = 142）报告体重减轻了5公斤或更多，而WLA的体重值保持不变。一方面，结果表明，尽管封锁期间有限制，但CFA可能通过改善身体成分来增强健康方面。另一方面，本研究表明，两组运动员的训练习惯随着数字体育产品的使用发生了显著变化。
我们认为，首次封锁期间在线体育产品的高度开放性和扩展可能会在未来改变体育产业。
