Abstract

Abstract Study aim: To assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on health, lifestyle, training loads and competition starts of swimmers in Poland in 2020. Material and methods: The study was conducted in the form of a questionnaire on group of 123 Polish swimmers in 2020. The survey asked about differences in training, lifestyle and well-being following the introduction of pandemic restrictions. The mean age of the athletes was 23 years ± 7.6 and training experience 10 years ± 5.3. Results: The majority of swimmers (81%) were satisfied with their health status. Respondents did not experience changes in sleep quality and length during the COVID-19 pandemic. A large proportion of respondents (83%) did not follow a special diet, while they were willing to use supplementation (58.5%). Respondents stated that the pandemic did not affect their physical activity outside of training. The athletes evaluated negatively the changes in training and competition conditions caused by the pandemic (p < 0.0001). Conclusions: The study showed that the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a major impact on the health, sleep and physical activity of swimmers in Poland in 2020, while it had a negative impact in terms of training conditions and sport competition.

COVID-19大流行对波兰游泳者的影响

摘要:研究目的:评估2019冠状病毒病大流行对波兰2020年游泳运动员健康、生活方式、训练负荷和比赛开始的影响。材料与方法:本研究采用问卷调查的形式对2020年波兰123名游泳运动员进行调查。该调查询问了在实施流行病限制措施后在培训、生活方式和福祉方面的差异。运动员平均年龄23岁±7.6岁，训练年限10岁±5.3岁。结果:大多数游泳者(81%)对自己的健康状况感到满意。受访者在COVID-19大流行期间没有经历睡眠质量和睡眠时间的变化。很大一部分受访者(83%)没有遵循特殊饮食，而他们愿意使用补充剂(58.5%)。答复者表示，大流行病并未影响他们在训练之外的体育活动。运动员对大流行引起的训练和比赛条件的变化评价为负面(p < 0.0001)。结论:研究表明，2019冠状病毒病大流行对2020年波兰游泳运动员的健康、睡眠和体育活动没有重大影响，但在训练条件和体育比赛方面产生了负面影响。
