Effects of wearing different face masks on cardiopulmonary performance at rest and exercise in a partially double-blinded randomized cross-over study

Eike-Maximillian Marek et al.

Summary: The use of face masks became mandatory during SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, but wearing masks may cause complaints about labored breathing and stress. This study investigated the effects of different masks on cardiopulmonary performance. The results showed that wearing a mask increased breathing resistance and work of breathing, altered breathing patterns during exercise, and caused minimal changes in blood gases.

You can leave your mask on: effects on cardiopulmonary parameters of different airway protective masks at rest and during maximal exercise

Massimo Mapelli et al.

Summary: The use of protective masks during the COVID-19 pandemic was found to result in a modest worsening of spirometry and cardiorespiratory parameters at rest and peak exercise, with a slight reduction in performance but no significant impact on oxygen saturation.

An upper bound on one-to-one exposure to infectious human respiratory particles

Gholamhossein Bagheri et al.

Summary: There is ample evidence that masking and social distancing are effective in reducing SARS-CoV-2 transmission. Studies show that even when both individuals wear FFP2 masks during conversation, the upper bound of infection risk remains as low as 0.4%, demonstrating the importance of wearing appropriate masks for protection in the community.

Quantitative modeling of the impact of facemasks and associated leakage on the airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2

Jean Schmitt et al.

Summary: The ongoing COVID-19 outbreak has brought personal protective equipment, especially facemasks, into the spotlight. Despite high vaccination rates in some countries, breakthrough infections have prompted the re-recommendation of facemask usage. Filtering facepieces (FFP) offer better protection efficiency than surgical and community masks, although improper fitting may reduce their effectiveness.

The tiny effects of respiratory masks on physiological, subjective, and behavioral measures under mental load in a randomized controlled trial

Robert P. Spang et al.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the cognitive efficacy and individual states of wearing an N95 respirator and no face covering, and found that there was statistical equivalence between the two conditions with no significant differences.

The impact of face masks on performance and physiological outcomes during exercise: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Keely A. Shaw et al.

Summary: The study found that wearing face masks during exercise may lead to CO2 rebreathing, decreased arterial oxygenation, and reduced exercise performance, but it does not impact exercise performance significantly. In addition to slightly increasing end-tidal CO2 and heart rate, masks have minimal effects on physiological variables during exercise.

The Impact of Ubiquitous Face Masks and Filtering Face Piece Application During Rest, Work and Exercise on Gas Exchange, Pulmonary Function and Physical Performance: A Systematic Review with Meta-analysis

Tobias Engeroff et al.

Summary: The study examined the effects of surgical masks and FFP2/N95 masks on gas exchange, pulmonary function, and physical performance. The results indicated that wearing masks led to a decrease in oxygen uptake, slower respiratory rates, and decreased ventilation, but did not impact heart rate or peak physical performance.

The introduction of a mandatory mask policy was associated with significantly reduced COVID-19 cases in a major metropolitan city

Nick Scott et al.

Summary: A study in Melbourne, Australia found that the mandatory mask policy led to a significant decline in new COVID-19 cases and a substantial increase in public mask usage during the resurgence of the epidemic. This indicates that masks play a crucial role in controlling epidemics in the broader community.

Face masks effectively limit the probability of SARS-CoV-2 transmission

Yafang Cheng et al.

Summary: The effectiveness of masks in preventing virus spread depends on the virus abundance level; surgical masks are effective in low-virus environments, while more advanced masks are needed in potentially virus-rich indoor settings like medical centers and hospitals. Masks work best when combined with other preventive measures such as ventilation and distancing.

Effects of Face Mask Use on Objective and Subjective Measures of Thermoregulation During Exercise in the Heat

Ayami Yoshihara et al.

Summary: The study found that during 60 minutes of low-to-moderate exercise in the heat, wearing a face mask did not significantly affect body temperature and heart rate, but it did influence overall breathing discomfort. Perceptual variables showed no significant difference between the face mask trials and control trials, except for overall breathing discomfort. Higher relative humidity inside the mask, rating of perceived exertion (RPE), and thermal sensation were significant predictors of increased overall breathing discomfort.

Face Masks and the Cardiorespiratory Response to Physical Activity in Health and Disease

Susan R. Hopkins et al.

Summary: The study reviews the effects of wearing face masks during physical activity on the respiratory system, suggesting that while dyspnea and perceived effort may increase, the impact on breathing workload, blood gases, and physiological parameters is generally small and often undetectable, even during intense exercise. There is no current evidence to support sex or age-based differences in physiological responses to exercise while wearing a face mask.
