Context: The COVID-19 pandemic has had catastrophic impact on a global scale, affecting people from all walks of life including elite athletes. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reported rates of return to play (RTP) in conjunction with the expert-derived guidelines previously recommended to enable safe RTP post COVID-19 infection. Evidence Acquisition: Two independent reviewers searched the literature based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, utilizing the MEDLINE, Embase, and Scopus databases. Only studies that reported rates of RTP and/or recommended guidelines for safe RTP were included. Evidence Synthesis: Overall, 17 studies (3 level III and 14 level V) were included. A total of 3 studies reported rates of RTP in a total of 1255 athletes and 623 officials; 72 (30 symptomatic) were infected with COVID-19, 100% of whom were able to RTP post COVID-19 infection. Of the 14 studies recommending guidelines for safe RTP, 3 and 9 studies recommended 7 and 14 days of rest in isolation respectively for asymptomatic patients with COVID-19 infection, prior to safe RTP. In contrast, 7 studies recommended 3 to 6 months of rest (following 14 d isolation) in cases of COVID-19-induced myocarditis as a safe timeframe for safe RTP. Of the 11 studies reporting on whether blanket testing prior to RTP was recommended, only 7 studies recommended a negative test result as mandatory prior to RTP for athletes previously infected with COVID-19. Conclusions: Although excellent rates of RTP have been reported for elite athletes post COVID-19 infection, discrepancies in recommended rest periods, requirement for mandatory negative test results, and the magnitude of screening investigations required continue to exist in the literature, with a need for further standardized international guidelines required in future. Level of Evidence: Level V; systematic review of all forms of evidence.

“…Manferdelli et al schlagen im Zusammenhang von COVID-19 vor, vor, während und nach Höhenexposition beim Höhentraining von Sportlern besondere Vorsicht walten zu lassen. Insbesondere sollten frühe Symptome einer Maladaptation an Hypoxie und Atemprobleme aufmerksam betrachtet werden, da sie COVID-19-Symptome maskieren können [13].…”

ZusammenfassungNach Lockerung der Reisefreiheit, welche im Rahmen der COVID-19-Pandemie stark eingeschränkt war, ist mit einem wiedereinsetzenden Tourismus auch in hochgelegene Reiseziele über 2500 Meter zu rechnen.Weiterhin kann man diesem Trend entsprechend davon ausgehen, dass Patienten mit durchgemachter COVID-19-Infektion vor der Reise in große Höhen höhenmedizinische Beratung suchen.Hier wird der reise- und höhenmedizinisch beratende Arzt vor große Herausforderungen gestellt, da er mit dieser speziellen Fragestellung bisher nicht konfrontiert worden ist.Dieser Artikel geht neben den Grundlagen der Höhenkrankheit und des Höhenlungenödems auf die aktuelle Studienlage pulmonologischer Pathologien und Krankheitsverläufe bei COVID-19-Infektion ein und gibt entsprechend dem aktuellen Kenntnisstand Empfehlungen zur höhenmedizinischen Beratung von Patienten nach durchgemachter COVID-19-Infektion.

Recommendations for altitude training programming to preserve athletes’ health after the COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract: Low-to-moderate altitude (2000-2500 m) training camps are an integral part of many athletes' training programmes. 1 Despite potential positive effects on performance, sojourning at altitude represents an important stress on the human body with transiently increased
