An athlete’s performance, though relying on the ability of the competitor, is also significantly influenced by the training time. If a sportsperson is deprived of exercising, severe consequences may arise regarding his practice as the result of such behavior. This is what occurred in the awakening of the COVID-19 pandemic where several athletes were deprived of training according to the required conditions for a high-level sport. Thus, this essay aimed to examine the various aspects of this impact. For this purpose, the effect changes in training routines on the athlete's performance/abandonment and on the combat dynamics were analyzed. Based on a quantitative analysis methodology, with descriptive and inferential analytical processes, it was considered the data obtained through the direct observation of video recordings of the combats held at the 2018 and 2020 European Championships. The results did not reveal a significant resignation of athletes from high competition but there are indications of a decrease in the number of attacks and more combat, increasing the duration of pauses and approaching the grips time (using P<0.05 as significance level).
Keywords: judo; COVID-19; performance analysis; combat sport; Temporal Structure of Judo Combat.
