A cloth face covering curbs exercise performance and physical capacity, reveal the results of a small clinical trial, published online in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. Wearers also reported increasing shortness of breath and claustrophobia at higher exercise intensities, prompting the researchers to suggest modifying the frequency, intensity, duration and type of exercise done […]
Research scientists from Regenstrief Institute and Indiana University have further improved the performance of Uppstroms, a machine learning application that identifies patients who may need referrals to wraparound services, by incorporating additional personal and population-level data sources and advanced analytical approaches. Research team affiliations include Regenstrief, IU Fairbanks School of Public Health at IUPUI, IU […]
A novel study shows that face mask use does not affect indicators of cognitive performance when the wearers are resting or performing moderate physical work in hot environments. However, wearing a face mask does make it more difficult to breathe when performing moderate physical work in a hot environment. The study is conducted by researchers […]
