Wearing a cloth face mask while exercising leads to worse performance, according to the results of a small trial.
It found that when donning a face covering, a person s exercise duration drops by 14 per cent while participants also recorded increased feelings of breathlessness and claustrophobia when exercising at higher intensities.
The results of the trial on 31 healthy adults have been published online in the British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM).
Thirty of the participants said that the task running on a treadmill to exhaustion was harder when wearing a face covering.
World Health Organization (WHO) guidance backs up the finding, stating: People should NOT wear masks when exercising, as masks may reduce the ability to breathe comfortably .

Dana-Farber research leads to better understanding of immune system in kidney cancer
Two research papers highlight single-cell dissection of kidney tumors to identify new immunotherapy treatments and targets
In the last two decades, immunotherapy has emerged as a leading treatment for advanced renal carcinoma cancer (more commonly known as kidney cancer). This therapy is now part of the standard of care, but it doesn’t work for all patients, and almost all patients, no matter how they respond initially, become more resistant to treatment over time. The immune system plays a critical role in kidney cancer disease progression and in response to therapies, and so a fundamental challenge in the field is to understand the underlying “immune circuitry” of this disease.
