The purpose of this study is to assess if wearing a surgical mask affects the results of a standard treadmill test.
The persons interested to participate will be informed of the implication and potential risks associated with the study. The participants that accept and meet the eligibility criteria will give written consent and be randomized into two groups. One group will first perform a treadmill test with a surgical mask and then repeat the test without a mask. The second group will do the first treadmill test without a mask and the second one with a surgical mask.
