Incidence and clinical relevance of COVID-19 in a population of young competitive and elite football players: a retrospective observational study
Key Points
- This retrospective observational study confirms the predominantly self-limiting illness of COVID-19 in young, multi-ethnic athlete population, without high incidence of myocardial injury or significant impact on athletic performance.
- Transient exertional ventricular arrhythmias or pericardial effusion could be observed after COVID-19 infection; therefore, a usual return-to-play protocol evaluation must be performed after asymptomatic or mild symptomatic illness resolution.
- It is reasonable that higher risk of myocardial involvement could be observed in moderate-to-severe symptomatic athletes and further studies need to clarify if implemented screening for return to activity is necessary in this context.
