Effects Of Wearing Face Masks During Continuous Exercise In Runners, Amanda E. Short-Mataya
WWU Graduate School Collection
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of face masks worn during continuous exercise in distance runners. The physiological and perceived impact of wearing a face mask, especially a cloth mask, during exercise of moderate-vigorous intensities is not well studied in the current literature. Twenty competitive female runners (age 23.1 ± 4.7 years) participated in the study. Three randomized exercise trials were completed wearing a cotton cloth mask, N95 respirator, or no mask while running for 10 minutes at 85% of their maximum heart rate (HRmax). Heart rate (HR), oxygen saturation (SpO2), and …

Exploring Social Physique Anxiety, Ethnic Identity, And Gender Identity In Exercisers, Kelly M. Zwicker
WWU Graduate School Collection
The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships and predictability of ethnic identity, race/ethnicity, and gender identity of social physique anxiety (SPA) in exercisers. Random stratified sampling of two popular exercise chains in the U.S. and snowball sampling resulted in 1,765 regular exerciser participants, including nine different races/ethnicities and eight gender identities. There was a small, negative correlation between SPA and total ethnic identity for the entire sample (rs = -.063, p= .008). For White/European American exercisers, there was a small, negative correlation (rs = -.093, p = .001), and for Black/African American …
