- A cloth facemask increased ratings of perceived exertion and reduced affect, without affecting sprint or muscular performance(2023) DANTAS, Matheus; BARBOZA-NETO, Rui; GUARDIEIRO, Natalia Mendes; PINTO, Ana Lucia de Sa; GUALANO, Bruno; SAUNDERS, BryanWe determined the effects of wearing a cloth facemask on exercise performance and subjective responses during training of track and field athletes. Track and field athletes (n = 10, sprinters and long jumpers) performed two training sessions with and without a three-layered antiviral cloth facemask. The training session simulated the specific demands of the sport, consisting of five 30-m sprints, interspersed with passive 4-min intervals. Countermovement jump performance was assessed pre- and post-sprints, and ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) and affect were collected throughout. There was no evidence of condition*time interactions for sprint time (P = 0.21) or acceleration (P = 0.47). There was weak evidence of a condition effect on RPE (P = 0.05), though no condition*time interaction (P = 0.35). There was moderate evidence of a condition*time interaction for affect (P = 0.02), with lower ratings following sprints 3, 4 and 5 when using the mask. These findings suggest that wearing a mask may negatively impact subjective feelings of training without necessarily harming sprint performance.
- Performing moderate to severe activity is safe and tolerable for healthy youth while wearing a cloth facemask(2023) MARTICORENA, Felipe Miguel; BARRETO, Gabriel Castanho; GUARDIEIRO, Natalia Mendes; ESTEVES, Gabriel Perri; OLIVEIRA, Tamires Nunes; OLIVEIRA, Luana Farias de; PINTO, Ana Lucia de Sa; RIANI, Luiz; PRADO, Danilo Mendes; SAUNDERS, Bryan; GUALANO, BrunoObjectiveTo investigate if a cloth facemask could affect physiological and perceptual responses to exercise at distinct exercise intensities in healthy young individuals. MethodsNine participants (sex, female/male: 6/3; age: 13 +/- 1 years; VO2peak: 44.5 +/- 5.5 mL/kg/min) underwent a progressive square-wave test at four intensities: (1) 80% of ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VAT), (2) VAT, and (3) 40% between VAT and _VO2peak wearing a triple-layered cloth facemask or not. Participants then completed a final stage to exhaustion at a running speed equivalent to the maximum achieved during the cardio-respiratory exercise test (Peak). Physiological, metabolic, and perceptual measures were measured. ResultsMask did not affect spirometry (forced vital capacity, peak expiratory flow, forced expiratory volume; all p >= 0.27), respiratory (inspiratory capacity, end-expiratory volume [EELV] to functional vital capacity ratio, EELV, respiratory frequency [Rf], tidal volume [VT], Rf/VT, end tidal carbo dioxide pressure, ventilatory equivalent to carbon dioxide ratio; all p >= 0.196), hemodynamic (heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure; all p > 0.41), ratings of perceived exertion (p = 0.04) or metabolic measures (lactate; p = 0.78) at rest or at any exercise intensity. ConclusionsThis study shows that performing moderate to severe activity is safe and tolerable for healthy youth while wearing a cloth facemask.
- A Cloth Facemask Causes No Major Respiratory or Cardiovascular Perturbations During Moderate to Heavy Exercise(2023) GUARDIEIRO, Natalia Mendes; BARRETO, Gabriel; MARTICORENA, Felipe Miguel; OLIVEIRA, Tamires Nunes; OLIVEIRA, Luana Farias de; PINTO, Ana Lucia de Sa; PRADO, Danilo Marcelo Leite do; SAUNDERS, Bryan; GUALANO, BrunoPurpose: Investigate whether a cloth facemask could affect physiological and perceptual responses to exercise at distinct exercise intensities in untrained individuals. Methods: Healthy participants (n = 35; 17 men, age 30 [4] y, and 18 women, age 28 [5] y) underwent a progressive square wave test at 4 intensities: (1) 80% of ventilatory anaerobic threshold; (2) ventilatory anaerobic threshold; (3) respiratory compensation point; and (4) exercise peak (Peak) to exhaustion, 5-minute stages, with or without a triple-layered cloth facemask (Mask or No-Mask). Several physiological and perceptual measures were analyzed. Results: Mask reduced inspiratory capacity at all exercise intensities (P < .0001). Mask reduced respiratory frequency (P = .001) at Peak (-8.3 breaths-min-1; 95% confidence interval [CI], -5.8 to -10.8), respiratory compensation point (-6.9 breaths-min-1; 95% CI, - 4.6 to -9.2), and ventilatory anaerobic threshold (-6.5 breaths-min-1; 95% CI, -4.1 to -8.8), but not at Baseline or 80% of ventilatory anaerobic threshold. Mask reduced tidal volume (P < .0001) only at respiratory compensation point (-0.5 L; 95% CI, - 0.3 to -0.6) and Peak (-0.8 L; 95% CI, -0.6 to -0.9). Shallow breathing index was increased with Mask only at Peak (11.3; 95% CI, 7.5 to 15.1). Mask did not change HR, lactate, ratings of perceived exertion, blood pressure, or oxygen saturation. Conclusions: A cloth facemask reduced time to exhaustion but had no major impact on cardiorespiratory parameters and had a slight but clinically meaningless impact on respiratory variables at higher intensities. Moderate to heavy activity is safe and tolerable for healthy individuals while wearing a cloth facemask. ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04887714.
- I put it in my head that the supplement would help me: Open-placebo improves exercise performance in female cyclists(2019) SAUNDERS, Bryan; SAITO, Tiemi; KLOSTERHOFF, Rafael; OLIVEIRA, Luana Farias de; BARRETO, Gabriel; PERIM, Pedro; PINTO, Ana Jessica; LIMA, Fernanda; SAPINTO, Ana Lucia de; GUALANO, BrunoThis study investigated the effect of open-placebo on cycling time-trial (TT) performance. Twenty-eight trained female cyclists completed a 1-km cycling TT following a control session or an open-placebo intervention. The intervention consisted of an individual presentation, provided by a medic, in which the concept of open-placebo was explained to the participant, before she ingested two red and white capsules containing flour; 15 min later, they performed the TT. In the control session, the participant sat quietly for 20 min. Heart rate and ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) were monitored throughout exercise, while blood lactate was determined pre- and post-exercise. Post-exercise questionnaires were employed to gain insight into the perceived influence of the supplement on performance. Open-placebo improved time-to-completion (P = 0.039, 103.6 +/- 5.0 vs. 104.4 +/- 5.1 s, -0.7 +/- 1.8 s, -0.7 +/- 1.7%) and mean power output (P = 0.01, 244.8 +/- 34.7 vs. 239.7 +/- 33.2, +5.1 +/- 9.5 W) during the TT. Individual data analysis showed that 11 individuals improved, 13 remained unchanged and 4 worsened their performance with open-placebo. Heart rate, RPE and blood lactate were not different between sessions (all P>0.05). Positive expectation did not appear necessary to induce performance improvements, suggesting unconscious processes occurred, although a lack of an improvement appeared to be associated with a lack of belief. Open-placebo improved 1-km cycling TT performance in trained female cyclists. Although the intervention was successful for some individuals, individual variation was high, and some athletes did not respond or even performed worse. Thus, open-placebo interventions should be carefully considered by coaches and practitioners, while further studies are warranted.
