Abstract

The COVID-19 has caused great affectations in the economic and social order of all the countries involved, the great psychological impact that has brought with this terrible pandemic has been recognized in the general population. Athletes are not exempt from these affections, so the research was determined to evaluate such impacts on Santiagueros athletes with the aim of implementing actions of psychological intervention that would minimize such consequences. The study was carried out in 926 athletes belonging to all sports categories and etical groups, with the use of three questionnaires and the technique of the thematic drawing. The athletes surveyed did not show great affectations in the psychological order, however, the most recurrent manifestations were tension, sadness, constant concern, fear and sleep alterations. An action research was carried out in which immediate solutions were offered to the problems and diagnosed demands.
