| No mask vs surgical | No mask vs N95 | No mask vs cloth | Surgical vs N95 | Surgical vs cloth | N95 vs cloth | |
| Dyspnea score | 0.69 | 0.22 | 0.009 | 0.30 | 0.004* | 0.08 |
| Breathing effort | 0.068 | 0.002 | < 0.001* | 0.007* | < 0.001* | 0.044 |
Bonferroni-adjusted significance level P < 0.008 indicated a significant difference between conditions (type of mask) based on Friedman test with Wilcoxon Signed Rank post hoc tests.
