Study: Exercising With Mask Induces a “Hypercapnic Hypoxia Environment” – Not Good

[Collective Evolution]: A recent study published in the Journal Medical Hypothesis titled “Exercise with facemask; Are we handling a devil’s sword? – A physiological hypothesis” claims the following:

"Exercising with facemasks may reduce available Oxygen and increase air trapping preventing substantial carbon dioxide exchange. 

The hypercapnic hypoxia may potentially increase acidic environment, cardiac overload, anaerobic metabolism and renal overload, which may substantially aggravate the underlying pathology of established chronic diseases. 

Further contrary to the earlier thought, no evidence exists to claim the facemasks during exercise offer additional protection from the droplet transfer of the virus. Hence, we recommend social distancing is better than facemasks during exercise and optimal utilization rather than exploitation of facemasks during exercise." ...<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>...
