Abstrakt:	An observational retrospective study was conducted on 180 young competitive athletes. These children were revaluated after a mild/moderate SARS-CoV-2 infection through 3 different kind of protocol aimed at recognizing any cardiorespiratory complications due to the infection. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the results of "return to play" Italian protocols for readmission to competitive sport in the pediatric population. All of the subjects analyzed were readmitted to competitive sports after revaluation. None of the young athletes showed cardiorespiratory compromises at first and/or second level evaluation, confirming that in young population there is low risk of hospitalization and life-threatening complications after a mild/moderate infection. Italian simplified protocol for resuming sport have proved to be a valuable tool for health assessment both in adult and young athletes allowing them to resume their training in safety.
