Short and mid‐term characteristics of COVID‐19 disease course in athletes: A high‐volume, single‐center study

Abstract

While SARS-CoV-2 rarely affects the myocardium in athletes, about one in three of them experience symptoms beyond the acute phase. Identifying those athletes with a predisposition to developing long-standing symptoms may aid clinicians and trainers in finding the optimal return-to-play timing and training load rebuild pace.
