摘要：The new type of coronavirus, which emerged in Wuhan, China, at the end of 2019, spread all over the world in a short time and became a global problem. This study aims to examine the training status, fear of Covid-19, and positivity levels of Wushu athletes in terms of different variables during the pandemic process. The research was conducted with the participation of 250 volunteer Wushu athletes of youth and adult categories. The Fear of Covid-19 Scale and Positivity Scale were applied to the participants via the internet. Since the data showed normal distribution, the Independent Samples t-Test was used in the comparative analysis between the two groups, and Spearman rank-sequence correlation analysis was used because there were ordinal variables in the correlation analysis. According to the results, 47.1% of the athletes used to train five days or more per week before the pandemic; however, in the pandemic, the number of training days decreased to 3 days (44.1%) per week. There were positive and significant relationships between both training frequency and training hours in the pandemic with positivity levels (p .05). Fear of Covid-19 in the adult category was higher than the youth category (p < .05). According to the results of our study, during the pandemic, as the participants’ training days and hours decreased, their positivity levels also decreased. Therefore, it could be argued that in order to adapt to the difficult conditions of the pandemic and to spend this process more positively, it is important to investigate the psychological states of people and the necessary interventions as well as making exercise strategies.
