Background: Many countries have adopted policies such as lockdowns and isolation to prevent the spread of COVID-19, but the players cannot receive training. The impacts of cessation of training on athletes include changes in body composition, decreased neuromuscular performance, reduced aerobic capacity, and negative psychological emotions. This review is to investi-gate the effect of the COVID-19 outbreak on the breaking records of top swimmers and to compare the number of people in the same critical international events, including the Olympic Games, the World Championships, and the National Games in Taiwan in the“pre-pandemic”period and“post-pandemic”era (referring to the resumption of swimming competitions after the epidemic) to broke the game and world records. Summary: The results showed that only the number of people who broke the records of the Tokyo Olympic Games increased in the“post-pandemic”era, while the number of people who broke world records in other events mostly decreased compared with that in the“pre-pandemic”period. We also compared the swimming results of the Na-tional Games in Taiwan in the“pre- and post-pandemic”periods, and it was found that the number of people who broke the game and the national records in the“post-pandemic”era was significantly lower than that of in the“pre-pandemic”period. In addition to discussing the possible impact of the epidemic on the performance of athletes, it also puts forward suggestions for athletes during the blockade period. |
