Abstract:

The study is to investigate the the effects of the new 2019 coronavirus outbreak (Covid-19) on the sport for all in Iran. It was a descriptive and a kind of field study. The statistical population included all non-professional male and female athletes in Iran before the outbreak of Covid-19 disease. For data collection, the standard questionnaire of the International Group of Covid-19 and Sport Researchers was used. The reliability of this questionnaire was determined by Cronbach's alpha method (R=0/87) and its validity was confirmed after reviewing by a number of experts in this field. The questionnaire was distributed by public sports committees electronically and online and 842 completed questionnaires were collected from all over the country in a stratified and cluster method and selected as a research sample. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, tables and graphs and inferential statistics such as Kendall rank test and Chi-square test. The results showed that 88% of indoor places and 64/9% of open places were currently closed and 34/3% of people had lost their jobs due to the prevalence of Covid-19.  The Corona test of 6/1% athletes were positive and 45% had not yet tested. Other results showed that there was a significant difference between the number of sessions and the intensity of training before the corona and during the corona, but there was no significant difference between the results of Covid-19 test and the degree of adherence to health laws and protocols. As a conclusion,it can be said that sports activities are strongly influenced and reduced by Covid-19.
