| Abstract |
An account is given of the results of measurements carried out on 22 healthy subjects tested on a bicycle ergometer. Of all the biological indices measured, the heart rate was the most significant. With a dynamic strain of 75W maintained for 1h, the wearing of a protective mask did not lead to any lowering of output. Furthermore, the maximum output was reached sooner with the mask than without the mask, but only from 9.30kcal/min, a level which, in practice, is only recorded for short periods of time. The unfavourable effect of high temperature on cardiovascular regulation during exercise should be noted. |
