Abstract
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, several guidelines recommend the wearing of face masks when outdoors. However, it is still widely debated if that recommendation is safe while exercising outdoors. Our paper shows that the wearing of face masks while jogging outdoors does not significantly affect the level of the person’s oxygen saturation.
