Wintersports

Winter conditions create adverse effects in the respiratory system.

Cold air passing into the lungs constricts blood vessels and capillaries at the time when you need them to function most efficiently. This will restrict lung function and its capacity to transfer oxygen to the blood. This in turn will reduce the bodies reflex times and the brains reaction times in order to carry out the tasks required.

If the temperature of the lungs can be stabilised to normal working temperature then there is no impairment to lung funtion and ideally these condition should be attained for the body to perform optimally.

Masks in winter serve several purposes at the same time:

They reduce face exposure to wind chill factor.
Warm up the air as it passes through the filter media.
Prevents ice particulates from being inhaled (powder snow).
