研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of this study is to assess if wearing a surgical mask affects the results of a standard treadmill test.
详细描述
The persons interested to participate will be informed of the implication and potential risks associated with the study. The participants that accept and meet the eligibility criteria will give written consent and be randomized into two groups. One group will first perform a treadmill test with a surgical mask and then repeat the test without a mask. The second group will do the first treadmill test without a mask and the second one with a surgical mask.

研究组 & 干预措施
With, then without a mask
Participants will first perform a treadmill test with a mask and 48 hours or more later will perform another similar treadmill test without a mask.
干预措施: Treadmill test (Bruce protocol) (Diagnostic Test)
Without, then with a mask
Participants will first perform a treadmill test without a mask and 48 hours or more later will perform another similar treadmill test with a mask.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Metabolic Equivalents With vs Without a Mask
时间窗: Through study completion, an average of 1 week
The maximal metabolic equivalents achieved will be calculated for each treadmill test performed.
次要结局
- Change in Borg's Category-Ratio Scale for Rating of Perceived Exertion With vs Without a Mask(Through study completion, an average of 1 week)
