Patients recovering from COVID-19 should be reassured that wearing a surgical facemask during physical or rehabilitation activities is safe. These data may also mitigate fears to refer these patients in rehabilitation centres where mask-wearing has become mandatory.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/02692155221097214","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,27]],"date-time":"2022-04-27T04:37:08Z","timestamp":1651034228000},"page":"1032-1041","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Impact of surgical mask on performance and cardiorespiratory responses to submaximal exercise in COVID-19 patients near hospital discharge: A randomized crossover trial"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"36","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7686-2294","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"William","family":"Poncin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut de recherche exp\u00e9rimentale et clinique (IREC), p\u00f4le de Pneumologie, ORL et Dermatologie, Universit\u00e9 Catholique de Louvain, Brussels, Belgium"},{"name":"Service de Pneumologie, Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc, Brussels, Belgium"},{"name":"Secteur de Kin\u00e9sith\u00e9rapie et Ergoth\u00e9rapie, Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc, Brussels, Belgium"},{"name":"Facult\u00e9 des Sciences de la Motricit\u00e9, Universit\u00e9 Catholique de Louvain, Louvain-La-Neuve, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adrien","family":"Schalkwijk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facult\u00e9 des Sciences de la Motricit\u00e9, Universit\u00e9 Catholique de Louvain, Louvain-La-Neuve, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Charlie","family":"vander Straeten","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facult\u00e9 des Sciences de la Motricit\u00e9, Universit\u00e9 Catholique de Louvain, Louvain-La-Neuve, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric","family":"Braem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Secteur de Kin\u00e9sith\u00e9rapie et Ergoth\u00e9rapie, Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc, Brussels, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1350-6348","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fabien","family":"Latiers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Secteur de Kin\u00e9sith\u00e9rapie et Ergoth\u00e9rapie, Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc, Brussels, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7674-1150","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gregory","family":"Reychler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut de recherche exp\u00e9rimentale et clinique (IREC), p\u00f4le de Pneumologie, ORL et Dermatologie, Universit\u00e9 Catholique de Louvain, Brussels, Belgium"},{"name":"Service de Pneumologie, Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc, Brussels, Belgium"},{"name":"Secteur de Kin\u00e9sith\u00e9rapie et Ergoth\u00e9rapie, Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc, Brussels, Belgium"},{"name":"Facult\u00e9 des Sciences de la Motricit\u00e9, Universit\u00e9 Catholique de Louvain, Louvain-La-Neuve, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-02692155221097214","unstructured":"Interim infection prevention and control recommendations for healthcare personnel during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
