The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on the mood of amateur runners and on their relationships with their partners and families.
Adult runners 18 years or older ( = 260) completed an online survey that included demographic information, standardized psychological assessments of Exercise Dependence (EDS-R) and mood (POMS), and, to measure relationship functioning, either the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) if they did not have children, or the Basic Family Evaluation Questionnaire (CERFB), measuring conjugal and parental relationships. Participants also answered questions about their exercise habits and the coping strategies they adopted during lockdown.
The results suggest that runners who saw the largest reductions in time spent exercising during lockdown tended to feel significantly less energetic ( < 0.05) and friendly ( < 0.01). In addition, they recorded significantly lower scores in marital satisfaction with their peers ( < 0.05). The runners with a higher degree of dependence on physical exercise registered significantly higher levels of depression, tension and anger than non-dependent runners (p < 0.001). Runners whose partners were physically active and did not have children had significantly higher scores marital satisfaction than runners whose partners were not physically active and had children ( < 0.05).
These findings seem to indicate that the psychological approach to athletes in the context of crises such as the pandemic should consider not only individual aspects, but also include the family perspective.
本研究旨在分析新冠疫情封锁措施对业余跑步者情绪及其与伴侣和家人关系的影响。
18岁及以上的成年跑步者(n = 260)完成了一项在线调查,内容包括人口统计学信息、运动依赖(EDS-R)和情绪(POMS)的标准化心理评估,以及用于衡量关系功能的量表:如果没有孩子则使用二元调整量表(DAS),如果有孩子则使用基本家庭评估问卷(CERFB),以测量婚姻和亲子关系。参与者还回答了关于他们的运动习惯以及在封锁期间采取的应对策略的问题。
结果表明,在封锁期间运动时间减少最多的跑步者往往感到精力明显不足(p < 0.05)且友好程度明显降低(p < 0.01)。此外,他们在与同伴的婚姻满意度方面得分显著更低(p < 0.05)。对体育锻炼依赖程度较高的跑步者,其抑郁、紧张和愤怒水平显著高于非依赖型跑步者(p < 0.001)。伴侣积极运动且没有孩子的跑步者,其婚姻满意度得分显著高于伴侣不积极运动且有孩子的跑步者(p < 0.05)。
这些发现似乎表明,在疫情等危机背景下,对运动员的心理干预不仅应考虑个体因素,还应纳入家庭视角。
