简要总结
In the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of masks in daily life has become an important issue. The most important measure taken to prevent contagion is the use of masks. The aim of the study is to determine the effects of surgical masks used in every moment of life on physical performance in elderly individuals.
详细描述
Physical performance measurements were carried out by a physiotherapist using the Senior Fitness Test (SFT). Participants were informed about the procedure of the test. All participants performed two evaluation sessions by the SFT with and without using a surgical mask. The participants were randomly selected to perform the test whether with or without the surgical mask at first. The sessions were held at least 24 hours apart to prevent fatigue.
