As gradually Physiotherapy clinics and Exercise centres begins to open up, just a friendly note or a reminder on the following:
1. Wearing mask can have an effect on your breathing (air flow restriction), so be cautious and careful when your advising exercises for an individual who is having pre-existing breathing conditions.
2. Exercises for children with masks should be extra careful, as they might not understand that difficulty in breathing is mask related.
3. During Exercises, mask can displace, which will force you to correct it especially if it goes up and covers your vision field. At this point the chances of touching your face or eyes are higher.
4. Mask can get wet during Exercises due to moisture in exhaled air or sweat or secretions. Wet mask can harbour pathogens and needs to be replaced.
5. Remember wearing mask while exercising fatigues you more, so be conscious of it and set your exercise goals accordingly.
In short: Exercise is beneficial. Start slowly and preferably outdoors in adequate distances from others. If wearing mask, watch out for the exertion levels and physical changes especially breathing. Take breaks and keep yourself active 👍
