  text: '<jats:p><jats:bold>Objective:</jats:bold> It is unclear whether and to what
    extent COVID-19 infection poses health risks and a chronic impairment of performance
    in athletes. Identification of individual health risk is an important decision-making
    basis for managing the pandemic risk of infection with SARS-CoV-2 in sports and
    return to play (RTP).</jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:</jats:bold> This study
    aims 1) to analyze the longitudinal rate of seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 in German
    athletes, 2) to assess health-related consequences in athletes infected with SARS-CoV-2,
    and 3) to reveal effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in general and of a cleared
    SARS-CoV-2 infection on exercise performance. CoSmo-S is a prospective observational
    multicenter study establishing two cohorts: 1) athletes diagnosed positive for
    COVID-19 (cohort 1) and 2) federal squad athletes who perform their annual sports
    medical preparticipation screening (cohort 2). Comprehensive diagnostics including
    physical examination, laboratory blood analyses and blood biobanking, resting
    and exercise electrocardiogram (ECG), echocardiography, spirometry and exercise
    testing added by questionnaires are conducted at baseline and follow-up.</jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results
    and Conclusion:</jats:bold> We expect that the results obtained, will allow us
    to formulate recommendations regarding RTP on a more evidence-based level.</jats:p>'
