Dr. Xiao Yuezhong, Dean of the Hong Kong Academy of Acute Medicine, added that when choosing masks, you should pay attention to the air permeability. He also mentioned that there are many sports masks that advertise high air permeability. He said: "Their infection protection ability cannot be compared with surgical masks. So when you choose these masks, you must pay attention to the contents of the instructions."

Huang Jiawei believes that when running with a mask, it is best to reduce the training intensity. He said: "The heart rate is lower than usual (without a mask) and keep breathing comfortable. The comfort level means that you can talk easily while running." Xiao Yuezhong also suggested that everyone run slower and shorter.

Running in the summer quickly makes my head sweat profusely and wets the mask. When the mask gets wet, it will stick to the face and affect the mouth, nose and breathing. Huang Jiawei suggested that you can bring a backup mask when you go out for a run. He said: "If the mask gets wet and it affects your breathing, remember to replace it." He also mentioned that he has used mask holders. These mask holders can make the mask, mouth and nose. Leave space between them, but he emphasized that when using the mask holder, check the side of the mask to ensure that the side of the mask is still close to the face.

Huang Jiawei recommends that everyone practice running on routes or times with less crowds, and do not conduct group training. Finally, he reminded that if you feel unwell while wearing a mask while running, you should stop and rest immediately.

Because the resistance of the mask makes us need to work harder to breathe. If we don’t adapt, we may have a chance to cause Some insidious attacks make people feel uncomfortable or breathless."
