Abstract

It has become accustomed to the practice of sport in a face-to-face, in-situ relationship, but the social distance inherent in the confinement produced by the COVID-19 dismissed face-to-face, generating distance between the coach and his athlete. The objective of this article is to offer a conceptual and operational resource with examples of the approach to the use of ICTs as an alternative solution for sports training. The phenomenological-hermeneutic method was used, applying the interview technique and the bibliographic review, whose instruments were validated by experts' judgment; the first one was applied to eight coaches of collective sports whose sports work is developed in the province of Tungurahua, whose function was to obtain empirical information that serves as a complement to the review, both allowed a critical analysis of two categories: the labor implications on the presential distance and virtual approach and the needs for sports training generated by the crisis of COVID-19. It was concluded that facing the crisis could be worrying initially, but the examples presented will help to direct a new way of managing and conducting training by applying ICTs giving a real alternative solution.
