We 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 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 (P = 0.35). There was moderate evidence of a 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.
我们确定了在田径运动员训练期间佩戴布质口罩对运动表现和主观反应的影响。田径运动员（n = 10，短跑运动员和跳远运动员）在佩戴和不佩戴三层抗病毒布质口罩的情况下各进行了两次训练。训练课程模拟了该运动的特定要求，包括五次30米短跑，并穿插4分钟的被动休息间隔。在短跑前后评估反向移动跳跃表现，并全程收集自觉用力程度（RPE）评分和情感评分。没有证据表明口罩对短跑时间（P = 0.21）或加速度（P = 0.47）有影响。虽然没有条件效应（P = 0.35），但有微弱证据表明口罩对RPE有条件效应（P = 0.05）。有中等证据表明口罩对情感有影响（P = 0.02），使用口罩时，在第3、4和5次短跑后的评分较低。这些发现表明，佩戴口罩可能会对训练的主观感受产生负面影响，但不一定会损害短跑表现。
