Popis: Introduction: Due to the mandatory use of a mask in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the authorization to do outdoor sports in Catalonia, we set out to evaluate the physiological impact of the hypoxia and hypercapnia generated by the mask during aerobic exercise. Methods: 46 adolescent competitive athletes (35 women, 11 men) were evaluated. Measurements were taken of ambient air, at rest intra-mask, and during a stress test intra-mask. The concentration of O2 and CO2 intra-mask and the O2 Saturation were evaluated. Results: The O2 of ambient air in the laboratory: 20.9%; Basal intra-mask O2: 18.0 ± 0.7% and intra-mask O2 during exercise: 17.4 ± 0.6% (p
