美国儿科学会估计，每年约有 35 至 4500 万 6 至 18 岁的年轻人参加某种类型的体育运动。严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2 (SARS-CoV-2) 大流行中断了青少年运动，导致许多儿童无法与队友和教练一起进行面对面训练。鉴于体育和身体活动对儿童和青少年的生活产生巨大影响，2019 年冠状病毒病限制对年轻运动员的心理和身体健康产生了显着影响。青少年体育界一直在努力寻找创造性的方法，在制定规则和规定的情况下，安全地将儿童和青少年带回球场和球场。青少年训练和比赛是 SARS-CoV-2 的潜在传播活动，特别是考虑到识别年轻运动员和其他无症状活动性病毒感染参与者的挑战。随着快速结果检测计划的实施以及美国食品和药物管理局批准针对青少年以及最近针对年幼儿童的高效疫苗，青少年体育再次成为年轻运动员训练、社交和学习团队合作和领导力方面宝贵经验的场所。
The American Academy of Pediatrics estimates that approximately 35 to 45 million young people age 6 to 18 years participate in some type of athletics every year.The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic interrupted youth sports and left many children unable to train in-person with teammates and coaches. Given the large impact sports and physical activity have on the lives of children and adolescents, the effect that coronavirus disease 2019 restrictions have had on the psychological and physical well-being of young athletes is significant. The youth sports community has worked hard to find creative ways to safely bring children and adolescents back to the fields and courts with rules and regulations in place. Youth practices and competitions are potential spreader events for SARS-CoV-2, especially given the challenge of identifying young athletes and other participants with asymptomatic active viral infection.With the implementation of rapid result testing programs and the US Food and Drug Administration approval of a highly effective vaccine in adolescents and, most recently, in younger children, youth sports are once again becoming a place for young athletes to train, socialize, and learn invaluable lessons in teamwork and leadership.
