Brief summary
This study aimed to examine the impact of surgical masks on maximal and submaximal exercise in both athlete and non-athlete individuals.
Detailed description
All participants will be informed about the procedure and, will sign an informed consent form. They will undergone a detailed physical examination before enrollment in the study. The study is conducted in 2-phases, in non-randomized, controlled design. Cardiopulmonary exercise tests (CPET) are going to be performed with and without a surgical mask with 48 hours in between.
Interventions
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTCPET without mask
Regular cardiopulmonary exercise tests were applied to all participants in phase 1.
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTCPET with mask
A 3-layer surgical mask was placed on CPET device's mask and was fixed with a CPET tribune. In phase 2, as using this combined (surgical mask and device's mask) masks, CPETs were performed in all participants again, after 48 hours.

Intervention model description
A prospective, crossover designed study was conducted in 2 phases. Cardiopulmonary exercise test was performed with and without surgical mask in all participants in between 48 hours. The participant group was further divided into two groups as athlete and non-athlete. In first step, parameters were compared between the CPET tests performed with and without surgical masks. In second step, athletes' and non-athletes' parameters were compared during CPET tests performed with surgical mask.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Tidal volume (TV) change at the maximum and anaerobic levels of CPET | two CPET tests which will be carried out two days within 2 weeks | TV that volume of air moved into or out of the lungs during quiet breathing |
| maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max) change between CPET with surgical mask and without surgical mask | two CPET tests which will be carried out two days within 2 weeks | Cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) is a well known, gold standard test to measure VO2 max during exercise. The higher VO2 max value shows better endurance.VO₂ max is the maximum (max) rate (V) of oxygen (O₂) the body is able to use during exercise |
| max minute ventilation (VEmax) change between CPET with surgical mask and without surgical mask | two CPET tests which will be carried out two days within 2 weeks | VEmax is the maximum volume of gas inhaled (inhaled minute volume) or exhaled (exhaled minute volume) from a person's lungs per minute. |
| exercise test duration change between CPET with surgical mask and without surgical mask | two CPET tests which will be carried out two days within 2 weeks | CPET duration of a participant |
| end-tidal carbon dioxide pressure (pETCO2) change at the maximum and anaerobic levels of CPET | two CPET tests which will be carried out two days within 2 weeks | End-tidal carbon dioxide pressure (pETCO2) is the level of carbon dioxide that is released at the end of an exhaled breath. |
| End-tidal partial oxygen pressure (pETO2) change at the maximum and anaerobic levels of CPET | two CPET tests which will be carried out two days within 2 weeks | refers to PO2 of exhaled gas. It is measured at the end of exhalation and its units are mm Hg. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| minute ventilation at anerobic level (VEan) results of athlete and non-athlete comparison | 2 weeks | The VEan difference in between the changes in CPETs with and without masks of athletes and non-athletes |
| maximum minute ventilation (VEmax) results of athlete and non-athlete comparison | 2 weeks | The VEmax difference in between the changes in CPETs with and without masks of athletes and non-athletes |
| VO2max results of athlete and non-athlete comparison | 2 weeks | The VO2max difference in between the changes in CPETs with and without masks of athletes and non-athletes |
| VO2an results of athlete and non-athlete comparison | 2 weeks | The VO2an difference in between the changes in CPETs with and without masks of athletes and non-athletes |
| PETO2 results of athlete and non-athlete comparison | 2 weeks | The PETO2 difference in between the changes in CPETs with and without masks of athletes and non-athletes |
| PETCO2 | 2 weeks | The PETCO2 difference in between the changes in CPETs with and without masks of athletes and non-athletes |
