Although biosecurity measures are being reduced in many parts of the world for people going outside, in other places even stricter measures are still being taken to avoid the risk of Covid-19 infection. That is why today we want to talk to you about exercising while using the first and most important measure to avoid contagion: the face mask…
As we now know, the face mask is an essential accessory when doing any sports activity in public or outdoor spaces; exercising with this accessory makes the whole process a bit more tedious and more difficult, since it restricts oxygen intake to our body and increases pressure on our lungs and heart.
According to some doctors, it is recommended to wear it when doing exercises that do not require much effort, and it is also advised to reduce the intensity and duration of the workout. “With these masks, airflow is limited, so the body has to work harder to perform as it would without the mask,” explains Patrick Davitt, director of the Health Sciences program at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, to The Philadelphia Inquirer. “The harder and faster we breathe, the more wearing a mask will affect us.”
We must consider several factors before putting our health at risk; in this case, our body is the only one that can tell us what is right and when to stop. If you experience dizziness, shortness of breath, or tingling sensations while exercising, you must stop immediately! Listen to your body.
If you definitely need to perform high-intensity exercise, remember to visit your primary care doctor and carefully follow all the instructions they give you so that you do not put your health at risk.
