Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of aerobic exercise on cardiorespiratory function in patients with obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS).Methods A total of 84 patients with OSAHS were randomly divided into a control group and an aerobic exercise group (42 in each group).The control group was given only training in the activities of daily living (ADL).The acrobic exercise group was given ADL training combined with aerobic exercise training.The regime was maintained for 16 weeks.Each patient's VO2max,maximum heart rate (HRmax),exercise time to exhaustion,6-minute walking distance and quality of life (QOL) were evaluated before and after treatment.Results VO2max,HRmax,VO2max/HRmax,maximum exercise time,6-min walking distance and QOL all increased significantly more in the aerobic exercise group compared with the control group.Conclusion Aerobic exercise training can significantly improve cardiorespiratory function in patients with OSAHS.
