Overview

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.

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

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Measurement of blood pressure changes due to mask use

Blood pressure reading with sphygmomanometer.

Time frame: The period in which each participant is evaluated by taking the outcome criterion is 30-60 minutes.

Evaluation of dyspnea score

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.

Time frame: The period in which each participant is evaluated by taking the outcome criterion is 30-60 minutes.

Evaluation of the degree of perceived fatigue

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.

Time frame: 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

Oxygen saturation and heart rate were recorded with a pulseoximetry device.

Time frame: The period in which each participant is evaluated by taking the outcome criterion is 30-60 minutes.
