Summary

The purposes of this study includes (1)to investigate inspiratory muscles and non-inspiratory muscle function in terms of strength, endurance, and fatigability in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), (2) investigate the metabolic characteristics of peripheral muscles and biochemistry markers in patients with OSA, and (3) to detect the effect of exercise training on the measured parameters in patients with OSA.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

exercise training, IMT

Each exercise session includes graded treadmill walking and resisted exercises. The graded treadmill walking exercise begins with a 5 minute warm-up period with the intensity of about 40% of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) follows by a 30 minutes training phase. The training intensity is set at about 70%-85% of VO2max and ends with a 5-minute cool-down period with the intensity of about 40% of VO2max. The resisted exercise program includes 20 minutes of weight training with rest after the first 5 minutes.
