Background: During 2020-2022, the SARS-COVID-19-2 (COVID-19) pandemic contributed to a global health crisis that affected society and individuals. One particularly vulnerable group was athletes, with limited personal health and physical exercise opportunities.Objectives: The first objective aims to explore the factors that influence the physical activities of athletes during COVID-19. The second objective aims to explore the factors that influence the mental health of athletes during COVID-19. The third objective aims to explore the relationship between physical activities and mental health among athletes during COVID19. Design: Systematic literature review.Method: The electronic databases PubMed, Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) and Google Scholar are selected. The inclusion criteria including a) Empirical research and peer-reviewed articles, b) Written in English, and c) containing keywords such as psychological distress, health, physical activities, COVID-19 and athletes.Results: A total of 10 reported studies have been included in this work. Most of these studies have shown that physical activities decreased during the COVID-19 outbreak due to a loss of motivation in athletes. Due to compromised physical activities, athletes started facing issues related to their mental health, like stress, depression, and anxiety. The less exercise and training sessions also affected the quality of sleep and reduced bedtime. Loss of sleep was an additional contributor to mental distress.Conclusion: The Study shows the importance of physical activities in the lives of athletes that are highly influenced during a pandemic. The result shows a positive association between mental health and physical activities. / Bakgrund: Under 2020-2022 hade pandemin SARS-COVID-19-2 (COVID-19) bidragit till en global hälsokris som hade påverkat både samhälle och individer. En grupp som var särskilt utsatt var idrottare där både den personliga hälsan och möjligheten att träna fysiskt är begränsad.Mål: Syftet med denna studie är att utforska faktorer som påverkar idrottares fysiska aktiviteter och äventyrar mental hälsa under COVID-19. denna studie fokuserar också på att undersöka hur dessa fysiska aktiviteter hjälper idrottare att hantera mental hälsa under tiden för pandemin.Design: Systematisk litteraturöversikt.Metod: De elektroniska databaserna PubMed, Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) och Google Scholar väljs. Inklusionskriterierna inkluderar a) Empirisk forskning och referentgranskade artiklar, b) skrivna på engelska, c) som innehåller nyckelord som psykisk ångest, hälsa, fysiska aktiviteter, covid-19 och idrottare.Resultat: Totalt 10 rapporterade studier har inkluderats i detta arbete. De flesta av dessa studier har visat att fysiska aktiviteter minskade under covid-19-utbrottet på grund av förlust av motivation hos idrottare. På grund av komprometterade fysiska aktiviteter började idrottare stöta på problem som rör sin mentala hälsa som stress, depression, ångest. Det mindre motions- och träningspasset påverkade också sömnkvaliteten och minskade läggtiden. Förlust av sömn bidrog ytterligare till psykisk ångest.Slutsats: Studien visar vikten av fysiska aktiviteter i livet för idrottare som är starkt påverkade under en pandemi. Resultatet visar ett positivt samband mellan mental hälsa och fysiska aktiviteter.

Depression och insomni är två vanliga former av psykisk ohälsa. I den här studien undersöktes om en bevisat effektiv behandling för insomni, (KBT-I), påverkade grad av depressiva symtom hos personer med konstaterade symtom på såväl depression som insomni. I studien kontrollerades för en minskning av nedstämdhet kunde tillskrivas en ökad fysisk aktivitetsnivå. En single case experimental design användes för ändamålet, med dagliga skattningar av sömn, nedstämdhet och fysisk aktivitetsnivå. Symtom på såväl insomi som nedstämdhet minskade signifikant hos tre av sex deltagare. Minskad nedstämdhet kunde inte förklaras av ökad fysisk aktivitetsnivå. Samvariation observerades mellan depression och insomni. Resultaten visar att insomni och depression kan påverkas av samma behandling, vilket antyder förekomst av gemensamma vidmakthållande mekanismer. / Insomnia and depression are two common mental health problems. This study investigated whether a proven effective treatment for insomnia CBT-I, would change the severity of depressive symptoms, for participants with comorbid insomnia and depression. It was controlled for, whether a reduction in depressive symptoms could be the result of increased physical activity. A single case experimental design, including daily measurements of sleep, depression and physical activity, was used as a means to answer the research questions. Symptoms of both depression and insomnia were significantly reduced for three out of six participants. Increased physical activity was not able to explain the decrease in depression scores. A correlation was observed, between depression and insomnia. The results shows that insomnia and depression can be affected by the same treatment, which implies existence of common perpetual mechanisms.
