Abstract

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 (n = 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 SD = 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.

新冠肺炎大流行期间耐力运动员的应对和恢复力。

新冠肺炎封锁限制了运动员的训练机会，导致身心困难。在这项研究中，参与跑步、自行车或游泳等户外耐力运动的运动员是通过Facebook群组和在线邮件列表招募的。最终样本（n = 3551）由576名女性受访者（16.2%）和2975名男性受访者（83.8%）组成。参与者的平均年龄为44.13岁年（最小 = 最大16 = 83和SD = 9.84）。设计了一项在线调查来测量与运动员心理健康相关的变量；复原力和情绪调节策略；流动限制；训练常规；个人参与耐力运动；年龄性别以及居住国。总的来说，我们的研究结果表明，在封锁期间，训练量的减少、针对封锁的弹性降低，以及对封锁行动限制（感知的严格性）持有更多负面看法，都会导致感知到的训练障碍。在分析中，运动员对行动限制的相对遵守受到了控制。对自己的运动表现出高度个人承诺的运动员表现出：更大的封锁弹性，更多地使用适应性应对策略，以及更低的训练障碍。

期刊介绍： Frontiers in Psychology is the largest journal in its field, publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research across the psychological sciences, from clinical research to cognitive science, from perception to consciousness, from imaging studies to human factors, and from animal cognition to social psychology. Field Chief Editor Axel Cleeremans at the Free University of Brussels is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, clinicians and the public worldwide. The journal publishes the best research across the entire field of psychology. Today, psychological science is becoming increasingly important at all levels of society, from the treatment of clinical disorders to our basic understanding of how the mind works. It is highly interdisciplinary, borrowing questions from philosophy, methods from neuroscience and insights from clinical practice - all in the goal of furthering our grasp of human nature and society, as well as our ability to develop new intervention methods.
