Abstract
Due to the outbreak of coronavirus worldwide, the performance of industries has changed a lot. Sport is one of the most active industries these days with sudden changes in the corona pandemic. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of coronavirus in the sports industry. Resources were collected using Google Scholar, Science Direct, PubMed, SID, Magiran and Irandoc engines. Twenty-four sources were found, including 12 related sources. The resource findings were then examined. Accordingly, the Corona pandemic in the sports industry has countless positive and negative effects. Most research has focused on the financial losses caused by the coronavirus, while other harms such as psychological, social and political trauma have not received much attention. Among the positive effects of corona is the development of exercise at home, given the leisure time for people. As a result, in order to get out of the crisis, it is suggested that due to the importance of management in sports organizations, managers should provide appropriate strategies to deal with the post-corona period and researchers should study the effects of corona virus according to different aspects in the sports industry. Despite the variability of these effects anywhere in the world, it is recommended that the strategies presented be localized.
