COVID-19 is a pandemic; being mainly a respiratory disease, facemask is one of the fundamental to prevent respiratory tract virus transmission.
Olympic is around the corner, and many sports events are aerobic in nature.
Does wearing facemask affect the sports performance of the athletes?
How is the respiratory physiology change with a facemask in situ?
Is there any exercise model of facemask fulfilling the filtration power for virus?

Do training masks really work, though? And are there any real benefits to using elevation training masks? So far, research results are mixed.
A study published in the Journal of Sports Science Medicine looked at the effects of altitude training masks on 24 athletes. Researchers found that these 12 athletes experienced improvements in respiration (breathing) compared to those who didn’t use training masks.
