Article Synopsis
- This study explored how wearing different types of surgical masks (a standard surgical mask and a three-dimensional mask) affects elite weightlifters during intense resistance exercises.
- Twenty elite male and female weightlifters participated in three different exercise sessions: one without a mask, one with a standard surgical mask, and one with a 3D surgical mask.
- Results showed that both types of masks and no mask enhanced post-exercise hypotension (lower blood pressure), with participants reporting less discomfort and breathing resistance with the 3D mask compared to the standard one.
