Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this multicenter randomized crossover design study is to evaluate a sample of 500 boys and girls from public and private schools in the Principality of Asturias, aged between 6 and 12 years, with the objective of determining the level of physical condition, as well as to evaluate the effect of the use of FFP2/N95 face masks during the execution of the ALPHA Fitness battery, and the emotional effects caused by the use of these masks. This is a sample obtained by accessibility, in which the sampling will be stratified by age and academic year.
