Objective: To understand the prevalence of home-related anxiety among adolescent athletes during the novel coronavirus pandemic and to ascertain the factors influencing this anxiety. Methods: We employed cluster sampling to select 1150 adolescent athletes (aged 8–18 years) from six sports training schools in Yantai City, Shandong Province. Mental health status was assessed and recorded. Chi-square tests and multivariable logistic regression were used to analyze the factors contributing to athletes’ anxiety. Results: The survey revealed a COVID-19 infection rate of 38.23% (437 individuals) with an anxiety score of 40.98 ± 8.20 and an anxiety detection rate of 11.29% (129 individuals) during the COVID-19 epidemic. Female athletes exhibited a higher anxiety rate of 14.40% compared to 8.40% in male athletes. Multivariate analysis identified female gender as a risk factor for anxiety (OR = 1.64), while participation in aquatics emerged as a protective factor (OR = 0.24, 95% CI: 1.08–2.48). Professional training duration exceeding three years increased anxiety risk (OR = 3.05, 95% CI: 1.67–5.58), as did not seeking help during difficulties (OR = 2.59, 95% CI: 1.33–5.01). Interestingly, parental care was linked to increased anxiety risk (OR = 2.44, 95% CI 1.34–4.44), while care from friends was protective (OR = 0.60, 95% CI: 0.36–1.01), which was possibly due to the pressure associated with parental expectations. Conclusions: Adolescent athletes, particularly females and those with extended training durations, exhibit a heightened susceptibility to anxiety. This study also highlights that athletes who proactively seek assistance during challenging situations tend to experience lower anxiety levels. Additionally, a lack of COVID-19 infection and the involvement of concerned parents contribute to reduced anxiety among these young athletes.

Background: Lung cancer, a leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide, necessitates innovative therapeutic approaches to enhance patient outcomes. Yoga, an ancient practice with multifaceted benefits, has shown promise in cancer care but remains underexplored in lung cancer. Methods: This scoping review focused on randomized trials from 2014 to 2023, examining yoga interventions in lung cancer care. We conducted a comprehensive literature search across PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, and CINAHL. The selection involved screening for relevance and detailed data extraction on study characteristics. Results: The review identified three studies that met the inclusion criteria, highlighting notable benefits such as short term pulmonary enhancements, significant physical and social function improvements for patients and caregivers, and perioperative benefits such as reduced dyspnea and anxiety. Conclusion: Preliminary evidence suggests yoga could be a valuable adjunct therapy in lung cancer treatment. However, the heterogeneity in study designs and small sample sizes highlight the need for further, more rigorous research to establish standardized yoga protocols for lung cancer care.
