COVID-19 vaccination raised concerns about its potential effects on physical performance. To assess the impact of COVID-19 vaccination on the perceived change in physical performance, we conducted an online survey among elite athletes from Belgium, Canada, France and Luxembourg, with questions about socio-demographics, COVID-19 vaccination, perceived impact on physical performance and perceived pressure to get vaccinated. Full vaccination was defined as two doses of mRNA or vector vaccine or a heterologous vaccine scheme. Among 1106 eligible athletes contacted, 306 athletes answered the survey and were included in this study. Of these, 72% perceived no change in their physical performance, 4% an improvement and 24% a negative impact following full COVID-19 vaccination. For 82% of the included athletes, the duration of the negative vaccine reactions was ≤3 days. After adjustment for potential confounding variables, practicing an individual sport, a duration of vaccine reactions longer than 3 days, a high level of vaccine reaction and the perceived pressure to get vaccinated were independently associated with a perceived negative impact on physical performance of more than 3 days after the vaccination. The perceived pressure to get vaccinated appears to be a parameter associated with the negative perceived change in the physical performance and deserves further consideration.
新冠病毒疫苗接种引发了人们对其对身体机能潜在影响的担忧。为了评估新冠病毒疫苗接种对身体机能感知变化的影响,我们对比利时、加拿大、法国和卢森堡的精英运动员进行了一项在线调查,问题涉及社会人口统计学、新冠病毒疫苗接种、对身体机能的感知影响以及接种疫苗的感知压力。全程接种定义为接种两剂信使核糖核酸(mRNA)疫苗或载体疫苗或采用异源疫苗接种方案。在联系的1106名符合条件的运动员中,有306名运动员回答了调查并被纳入本研究。其中,72%的人认为新冠病毒全程接种后其身体机能没有变化,4%的人认为有所改善,24%的人认为有负面影响。对于82%的纳入研究的运动员,疫苗不良反应的持续时间≤3天。在对潜在混杂变量进行调整后,从事个人项目运动、疫苗反应持续时间超过3天、疫苗反应程度高以及接种疫苗的感知压力与接种后3天以上对身体机能的感知负面影响独立相关。接种疫苗的感知压力似乎是与身体机能负面感知变化相关的一个参数,值得进一步研究。
