COVID-19 lockdowns constrained the training opportunities of athletes resulting in physical and mental hardship. In this study, athletes involved in the outdoor endurance sports of running, cycling or swimming were recruited through Facebook groups and using online mailing lists. The final sample ( = 3,551) consisted of 576 female respondents (16.2%), and 2,975 male respondents (83.8%). The mean age of participants was 44.13 years (min = 16, max = 83, and = 9.84). An online survey was designed to measure variables relevant to athletes' mental health; resilience and emotion regulation strategies; mobility restrictions; training routines; personal involvement in endurance sports; age; gender; and country of residence. Overall, the results of our study indicate that during lockdown, decreases in training volume, lower lockdown-specific resilience, and holding more negative perceptions about lockdown mobility restrictions (perceived strictness) all contributed to perceived barriers to training. In the analysis, athletes' relative observance of mobility restrictions was controlled for. Athletes exhibiting high personal commitment to their sports displayed: greater lockdown resilience, a greater use of adaptive coping strategies, and lower levels of perceived barriers to training.
新冠疫情封锁限制了运动员的训练机会，导致他们身心俱疲。在本研究中，通过脸书群组和在线邮件列表招募了参与跑步、骑行或游泳等户外耐力运动的运动员。最终样本（n = 3551）包括576名女性受访者（16.2%）和2975名男性受访者（83.8%）。参与者的平均年龄为44.13岁（最小16岁，最大83岁，标准差 = 9.84）。设计了一项在线调查来测量与运动员心理健康、恢复力和情绪调节策略、行动限制、训练常规、个人参与耐力运动情况、年龄、性别以及居住国相关的变量。总体而言，我们的研究结果表明，在封锁期间，训练量的减少、针对封锁的恢复力较低以及对封锁行动限制（感知到的严格程度）持有更多负面看法，都导致了训练的感知障碍。在分析中，对运动员对行动限制的相对遵守情况进行了控制。对运动表现出高度个人投入的运动员表现出：更强的封锁恢复力、更多地使用适应性应对策略以及更低的训练感知障碍水平。
