This article analyzes the results of a survey carried out during the 2020 lockdown of high-level Spanish athletes (members of sporting federations and Olympians). Through the Emotional and Adaptive Reactions in Lockdown Questionnaire COVID-19 (REACOVID-19), distributed by federations and sports clubs to a non-probabilistic snowball sample, 2,831 athletes were interviewed. They were consulted about their habitats, family and leisure conditions during lockdown, training habits and behaviors, attitudes related to the motivation and organization of their training sessions, as well as the availability of materials, the monitoring of coaches and the information received by federations and sports clubs. Finally, they were also consulted about their position and how the suspension of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games has affected them. In addition, to paint a picture of these athletes’ training situation in this context, the article exposes the difficulties and limitations of conducting a survey of this nature in a state of emergency.
