Preamble : We would like to thank our Research Review readers who provided feedback on our
Autumn 2021 Research Review on exercising while wearing a facemask . It was quite interesting to hear from so many of you that had experienced similar feelings of restricted breathing while wearing a mask , particularly during high intensity aerobic exercise . Most importantly , you kept yourselves safe , protected other exercise enthusiasts and were completing exercise for both fitness and mental health benefits . And this takes us into this issue ’ s Research Review , which involves those that were not exercising and their increased risk of severe COVID-19 .
