Pertaining to Masks - As stated in A Scientific Look at COVID-19 Recommendations, fascial coverings are ineffective against viruses, though very effective to prevent bacterial spores. In an exercises environment, wearing any face covering will increase the amount of CO2 while decreasing O2 inhalation. According to exercise.com, “Low oxygen levels can cause you to feel listless. Oxygen deficiency is the cause of many ailments because without enough oxygen your cells cannot be cleansed from toxins. Furthermore, a lack of sufficient oxygen can lower your immunity levels.”

Due to these facts, wearing fascial coverings will not be recommended unless mandated by law. If someone chooses to wear a fascial covering, they assume all liability for oxygen-deficiency-related ailments, and their trainer shall adjust their workout based on the decreased oxygen.
