Abstract

Anxiety and depressive symptoms are prevalent in athletes. The pandemic of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) may increase risk for symptoms due to fear of exposure during competition or uncertainty regarding participation. The current study examined the prevalence of COVID-19 anxiety in 437 National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I student-athletes and its association with psychological symptoms. Only 0.2% of participants endorsed COVID-19 anxiety symptoms above cutoff. COVID-19 anxiety did not change after postponement of fall sports or differ between persons competing in different seasons. However, higher levels of COVID-19 anxiety were significantly associated with depression, anxiety, and stress. Though student-athletes generally reported low levels of psychological symptoms, females endorsed significantly higher levels than males. Low levels of COVID-19 anxiety in student-athletes may reflect protective factors (e.g., health knowledge, emotion regulation) or the tendency for this population to minimize psychological symptoms. Further investigations on the psychological impact of COVID-19 in athletes is needed.
新冠肺炎焦虑在一级运动员中的患病率
焦虑和抑郁症状在运动员中很普遍。新型冠状病毒(COVID-19)大流行可能会增加出现症状的风险,因为人们担心在比赛期间接触病毒或不确定是否参加比赛。目前的研究调查了437名全国大学体育协会一级学生运动员中COVID-19焦虑的患病率及其与心理症状的关系。只有0.2%的参与者承认COVID-19焦虑症状高于临界值。新冠肺炎焦虑在推迟秋季运动后没有变化,在不同季节比赛的人之间也没有差异。然而,更高水平的COVID-19焦虑与抑郁、焦虑和压力显著相关。尽管学生运动员普遍报告的心理症状水平较低,但女性的心理症状水平明显高于男性。学生运动员对COVID-19的低水平焦虑可能反映了保护因素(如健康知识、情绪调节),或者这一人群倾向于将心理症状降至最低。需要进一步调查COVID-19对运动员的心理影响。
