From: The Impact of Ubiquitous Face Masks and Filtering Face Piece Application During Rest, Work and Exercise on Gas Exchange, Pulmonary Function and Physical Performance: A Systematic Review with Meta-analysis

Fig. 2

Pooled effect size estimates (standardised mean differences) for the pulse-derived oxygen saturation and oxygen uptake outcomes. Overall effects for face mask application (surgery mask and FFP2/N95 with and without valve) in comparison with a comparator/no mask control are displayed. Effects for the subgroups are based on the grouping variables of different mask types (surgery mask or FFP2/N95 with and without valve) and the different types of physical activity (rest, low-, moderate- and vigorous intensity). SMD, standardised mean difference; CI, confidence interval
