Abstract
Sumary: We compared electrocardiograms (ECGs) findings with one year difference between each other with and without use of face mask at the moment to be tested. The first ECG was done one year before without face mask, and the second ECG with a mask one year later after 3 months of mandatory use for epidemiological COVID-19 pandemic justifications in healthy youth elite athletes. Results: Regarding heart rate variability (HRV), an increase in RMSSD was recorded when the test was performed with a mask (M): 108.5 ± 90 ms vs. No mask (NM): 72.9 ± 54.2 ms (p
