Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, children have been more sedentary due to nationwide school closures resulting in classes being held virtually.

It is predicted that the addition of a mask will have negative implications on physiology
If there is evidence that people do not work out as effectively while wearing a mask, it would be important to find other ways to keep people physically active
