Summary

The use of masks has become an important part of life in outbreak conditions. In order to prevent the spread of the outbreak, many people in society may have to wear masks for hours during the day. As a mask type, the medical mask is frequently preferred in society. There are limited studies on how the use of medical masks affects the person wearing the mask while performing various activities that require different energy needs during the day. Therefore, this study aims to investigate how the use of medical mask affects exercise capacity and leg endurance with simple field tests.
