“…The main findings revealed that 6 weeks of this combination program was able to ameliorate EDS, lower the risk of SRBDs, improve most of the anthropometric variables, and increase physical fitness in adults with obesity and SRBDs. These results are similar to previous studies which showed an improvement in sleep quality 7,[10][11][12][25][26][27] , and sleep indices 12,25,28 after completion of exercise programs. However, the study period for those studies was longer than the present study, excepted for the study of Ebrahimi et al (2017) 27 which examined the effect of yoga and aerobic exercise at week 6 and week 12.…”

Introduction:The effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) combined with resistance training (RT) in adults with obesity and sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBDs) is limited.Objective: This study aimed to examine the effects of HIIT combined with RT on subjective sleep disorders in adults with obesity and SRBDs. Material and Methods: This study was a pre-and post-test design. Seventeen adults with obesity and SRBDs were recruited into the study. They received 24 minutes of HIIT and 30 minutes of RT, 3 times/week for 6 weeks. The Epworth sleepiness scale (daytime sleepiness), Berlin questionnaire (snoring and daytime sleepiness category), estimated maximum oxygen consumption (VO 2 max), muscle strength using 1-repetition maximum, anthropometric variables, and blood biomarkers were examined at baseline and after 6 weeks of training. Results: The Epworth sleepiness scale, Berlin questionnaire (daytime sleepiness category), and the number of risks associated with sleep apnea using the Berlin questionnaire were significantly decreased after 6 weeks of training (all p<0.01). The estimated VO 2 max and muscle strength were significantly increased at Week 6 (all p<0.05). Body weight, body mass index, % body fat, and hip circumference were significantly decreased at Week 6 (all p<0.05). No significant changes were observed in blood biomarkers, except for fasting blood glucose (p<0.01). Conclusion: Six weeks of HIIT combined with RT has beneficial effects on subjective sleep disorders, estimated VO 2 max, muscle strength, and most anthropometric variables in adults with obesity and SRBDs.

“…Importantly, at least 1 hour per week of exercise was associated with reduced odds of developing mild and moderate sleep-disordered breathing (32). The benefits of habitual exercise on OSA have been corroborated in exercise prescription studies (33–36). Lastly, compared with people who have never smoked, current smokers are estimated to have more than four times the odds of developing moderate OSA.…”

“…The data presented beneficial results of studies with a combination of exercises and supportive diet in patients with OSAS (Norman et al, 1997;Barnes et al, 2009;Papandreou et al, 2012). Eight patients with OSAS participated in the exercise program three times per week for 6 months, involving aerobic and strength training, in addition to receiving dietary counseling.…”

The current treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) focuses on alleviation of symptoms by increasing airway patency during sleep through positive airway pressure, oral appliances, changes in sleep position, weight loss, or surgical treatment. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is currently the treatment of choice and prevents upper airway obstruction, resulting in improved sleep architecture and daytime symptoms. Despite proven efficacy, adherence to CPAP treatment is still not efficient. The new methods of rehabilitation (exercise training programs, hypoglossal nerve stimulation) for patients with OSAS are currently modified. The aim of the present study was to present recent developments in the field of selected aspects of rehabilitation in patients with OSAS. Database search was focused on exercise training programs and electrostimulation of genioglossus muscle. The search for articles on the rehabilitation interventions for OSAS was performed using the PubMed database from 1966 to 2013. Most of the findings have shown beneficial effects of rehabilitation. In detail, we describe the recent developments and potential adverse effects of electrostimulation and physical exercises. According to the results of studies presented, the above therapy might support conventional treatment or may be an alternative for patients with poor compliance to CPAP therapy, mandibular advancement devices, or ineffective results of surgical procedures as well.
