Abstract:
There are unique cohorts of individuals facing specific
challenges during the current global coronavirus disease
2019 (COVID-19) crisis. When faced with a rapidly evolving
pandemic associated with high morbidity and mortality
in older people (>60 years), the respiratory health of a
(predominantly) young and very physically fit population
might, on the face of it, seem trivial or almost irrelevant.
Yet, for athletes, para-athletes, and clinicians concerned
with their health, it is important that targeted guidance
is available to ensure the wellbeing of this population is
considered.
