Mask, Aerobic exercise, Adult, Heart rate, Respiratory rate, Oxygen saturation, CO2 concentrationAbstract
Aim: To identify the physiological changes during aerobic exercise with masks in adults. Material and methods: an adaptation of the Cochrane rapid review methodology was used. The search was made on Pubmed, EMBASE, and Scopus, using the terms "mask," "vital sign," and "aerobic exercise." Experimental studies, in adults and with aerobic exercise were included. Results: 331 articles were found, 12 were selected. Surgical mask and N95 were evaluated in three and six investigations respectively. During low intensity exercise with a mask, increases in heart and respiratory rate, temperature and CO2 concentration were observed, being slight changes and without clinical importance. Perception of effort was unchanged. No studies with moderate or high intensity interventions were found. Conclusion: the use of face masks slightly increases some physiological variables without clinical relevance during low intensity exercise. Future research should evaluate physiological changes during moderate and high intensity exercise.
