Effect of Mask Use on Hemodynamic Responses During Exertion

August 25, 2022 updated by: Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi
The use of masks is a necessity due to the current pandemic conditions. The aim of the study is to examine the effects of the use of masks during effort on dyspnea and fatigue with hemodynamic parameters.

Detailed Description

The use of masks is a necessity due to the current pandemic conditions.There are studies on many parameters such as the effect of mask use on saturation (sp02), heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP). To determine whether there is a change in the performance of individuals in the masked and unmasked exercise test during exertion due to the scarcity of masked and unmasked maximal exercise tests and the insufficient measurement of the degree of fatigue felt, and to determine whether there is a change in the performance of individuals with and without mask, and to determine the hemodynamic responses in the body together with dyspnea and felt fatigue. This study will be conducted in order to examine the effect on

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Measurement of blood pressure changes due to mask use
Time Frame: The period in which each participant is evaluated by taking the outcome criterion is 30-60 minutes.
Blood pressure reading with sphygmomanometer.
The period in which each participant is evaluated by taking the outcome criterion is 30-60 minutes.
Evaluation of dyspnea score
Time Frame: The period in which each participant is evaluated by taking the outcome criterion is 30-60 minutes.
Dyspnea score was evaluated with the Modified Borg Scale. The Modified Borg Scale is a 0 to 10 numerical score used to measure dyspnea. 0 indicates minimum dyspnea and 10 indicates maximum dyspnea.
The period in which each participant is evaluated by taking the outcome criterion is 30-60 minutes.
Evaluation of the degree of perceived fatigue
Time Frame: The period in which each participant is evaluated by taking the outcome criterion is 30-60 minutes.
The degree of perceived fatigue was evaluated with the Modified Borg Scale. The Modified Borg Scale was used to assess perceived difficulty. The Modified Borg Scale is a numerical score from 0 to 10. 0 means minimum difficulty and 10 means maximum difficulty.
The period in which each participant is evaluated by taking the outcome criterion is 30-60 minutes.
Measurement of oxygen saturation and heart rate changes due to mask use
Time Frame: The period in which each participant is evaluated by taking the outcome criterion is 30-60 minutes.
Oxygen saturation and heart rate were recorded with a pulseoximetry device.
The period in which each participant is evaluated by taking the outcome criterion is 30-60 minutes.
