Masking rules and regulations are evolving around the world. As gyms open and close or capacity limits decrease, individuals must continue to be cautious and respectful of others. Fortunately, Research suggests that it is safe for healthy individuals to wear a mask while exercising while reducing the risk of contracting or transmitting COVID-19. In general, it is recommended that individuals begin exercising at a lower intensity to become accustomed to wearing a face covering before returning to normal intensity levels.
In one study, topicsperceivedto have less airflow while exercising with a mask, but the data showed no difference in oxygenation of blood, tissue or muscles. This can be caused by psychological factors B. being claustrophobic or believing that the airflow would decrease and therefore the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) was higher.
When we breathe, speak, cough or sneeze, particles are released into the air. The size, speed and trajectory of these particles varies during Exercise Recent research has shown that wearing a mask not only helps protect others, but also protects the wearer. Although a single layer of fabric is better than nothing, multiple layers with higher thread counts showed significant results better results even with particles smaller than 1 micron.
Researcher recommend that people wear masks while exercising indoors, especially when people may be breathing more heavily due to intense exercise. If a mask or face covering becomes wet with respiratory droplets or sweat, it is a good idea to use a dry replacement or use more sweat-resistant masks. Masks made of polyester or silk are more sweat-resistant compared to surgical masks that tend to fall apart when they get wet or sweaty.
When to wear a mask:
- Immer wenn Sie drinnen sind, es sei denn, Sie sind alleine oder zu Hause
- Draußen, wenn sich andere innerhalb von 6 bis 10 Fuß von Ihnen befinden, aber Sie können es nach unten ziehen, wenn der Bereich geräumt ist
Health and safety concerns when wearing a mask:
- Möglicherweise erhöhte Herzfrequenz
- Möglicherweise erhöhte Atemfrequenz
- Mögliche Kopfschmerzen
- Möglicher Schwindel / Benommenheit
Health and safety concerns when NOT wearing a mask:
- Vertrag mit COVID-19
- Verbreitung des Virus (mit oder ohne symptomatisch)
- Andere schwere Krankheiten
People with chronic illnesses should exercise alone in their own home without a mask and, if necessary, under supervision. Those who have comorbidities and are participating in exercise should be aware that face coverings may increase the body's wear and tear physiological reactions. It's best to start at a lower intensity and gradually increase the intensity, perhaps over a few months. Staying active is important, but staying safe is paramount.
Conclusion
Implementing universal masking policies in fitness facilities can help avoid future lockdowns, especially when these policies are combined with other measures such as social distancing, frequent handwashing and effective ventilation systems. Wearing masks can also make others feel more comfortable being back in public exercise spaces. Of course, as virologist Paul Digard of the University of Edinburgh notes, "masks work, but they are not infallible... that's why keep your distance."
