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>"}],"date_created":"2022-02-25T12:02:37Z","doi":"10.3389/ijph.2022.1604414","publication_status":"published","_id":"30117","status":"public","author":[{"last_name":"Niess","full_name":"Niess, Andreas Michael","first_name":"Andreas Michael"},{"first_name":"Manuel","last_name":"Widmann","full_name":"Widmann, Manuel"},{"first_name":"Roman","id":"51214","last_name":"Gaidai","full_name":"Gaidai, Roman"},{"last_name":"Gölz","full_name":"Gölz, Christian Johannes","id":"33725","first_name":"Christian Johannes","orcid":"0000-0003-0536-1481"},{"first_name":"Isabel","full_name":"Schubert, Isabel","last_name":"Schubert"},{"first_name":"Katty","last_name":"Castillo","full_name":"Castillo, Katty"},{"first_name":"Jan Philipp","last_name":"Sachs","full_name":"Sachs, Jan Philipp"},{"first_name":"Daniel","full_name":"Bizjak, Daniel","last_name":"Bizjak"},{"first_name":"Shirin","last_name":"Vollrath","full_name":"Vollrath, Shirin"},{"first_name":"Fritz","last_name":"Wimbauer","full_name":"Wimbauer, Fritz"},{"full_name":"Vogel, Azin","last_name":"Vogel","first_name":"Azin"},{"first_name":"Karsten","full_name":"Keller, Karsten","last_name":"Keller"},{"last_name":"Burgstahler","full_name":"Burgstahler, Christof","first_name":"Christof"},{"full_name":"Quermann, Anne","last_name":"Quermann","first_name":"Anne"},{"last_name":"Kerling","full_name":"Kerling, Arno","first_name":"Arno"},{"first_name":"Gerald","full_name":"Schneider, Gerald","last_name":"Schneider"},{"first_name":"Jonas","last_name":"Zacher","full_name":"Zacher, Jonas"},{"full_name":"Diebold, Katharina","last_name":"Diebold","first_name":"Katharina"},{"full_name":"Grummt, Maximilian","last_name":"Grummt","first_name":"Maximilian"},{"first_name":"Claudia","last_name":"Beckendorf","full_name":"Beckendorf, Claudia"},{"full_name":"Buitenhuis, Johannes","last_name":"Buitenhuis","first_name":"Johannes"},{"first_name":"Florian","full_name":"Egger, Florian","last_name":"Egger"},{"full_name":"Venhorst, Andreas","last_name":"Venhorst","first_name":"Andreas"},{"first_name":"Oliver","last_name":"Morath","full_name":"Morath, Oliver"},{"last_name":"Barsch","full_name":"Barsch, Friedrich","first_name":"Friedrich"},{"first_name":"Klaus-Peter","last_name":"Mellwig","full_name":"Mellwig, Klaus-Peter"},{"full_name":"Oesterschlink, Julian","last_name":"Oesterschlink","first_name":"Julian"},{"first_name":"Jan","last_name":"Wüstenfeld","full_name":"Wüstenfeld, Jan"},{"last_name":"Predel","full_name":"Predel, Hans-Georg","first_name":"Hans-Georg"},{"first_name":"Peter","last_name":"Deibert","full_name":"Deibert, Peter"},{"last_name":"Friedmann-Bette","full_name":"Friedmann-Bette, Birgit","first_name":"Birgit"},{"full_name":"Mayer, Frank","last_name":"Mayer","first_name":"Frank"},{"last_name":"Hirschmüller","full_name":"Hirschmüller, Anja","first_name":"Anja"},{"last_name":"Halle","full_name":"Halle, Martin","first_name":"Martin"},{"full_name":"Steinacker, Jürgen Michael","last_name":"Steinacker","first_name":"Jürgen Michael"},{"first_name":"Bernd","full_name":"Wolfarth, Bernd","last_name":"Wolfarth"},{"full_name":"Meyer, Tim","last_name":"Meyer","first_name":"Tim"},{"last_name":"Böttinger","full_name":"Böttinger, Erwin","first_name":"Erwin"},{"last_name":"Flechtner-Mors","full_name":"Flechtner-Mors, Marion","first_name":"Marion"},{"last_name":"Bloch","full_name":"Bloch, Wilhelm","first_name":"Wilhelm"},{"first_name":"Bernhard","last_name":"Haller","full_name":"Haller, Bernhard"},{"full_name":"Roecker, Kai","last_name":"Roecker","first_name":"Kai"},{"id":"48978","first_name":"Claus","last_name":"Reinsberger","full_name":"Reinsberger, Claus"}],"year":"2022","user_id":"51214","publication_identifier":{"issn":["1661-8564"]},"volume":67,"publisher":"Frontiers Media SA","keyword":["Public Health","Environmental and Occupational Health","Health (social science)"],"type":"journal_article","citation":{"ama":"Niess AM, Widmann M, Gaidai R, et al.
