Covid-19 and Fighter Performance

Six months have passed since Covid-19 ravaged communities and shut down the world. For some, it is a deadly viral contagion, but for high-performance athletes, it’s less impactful. The disease harms the fighter primarily through camp disruptions, and less impact on the athlete’s body. It is meaningful to understand how Covid-19 damages fight camps. Also to note is observing impressive performances from athletes who previously tested positive for the disease. The residual effects on the body are less contingent to the outcome. Covid-19 and fighter performance are not dependent on each other. Further, it erodes fight camps, stifles preparation but displays a negligent effect on performance.
