Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate if 3 months of interval training improves obstructive sleep apnea in obese patients diagnosed with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. The working hypothesis is that 3 months of 3 weekly aerobic interval training sessions improve obstructive sleep apnea and sleep quality in obese patients.

Conditions

  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Aerobic Interval training

Treadmill walking or running - 3 times per week for 3 months. The interval training session consists of 10 minutes warm up and continues with 4 x 4 minutes high intensity intervals at 90-95% of maximal heart rate. Training intensity will be supervised through the use of Polar pulse monitors and the BORG scale of subjective perceived exhaustion.
