Summary

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is defined as a total cessation of upper airway flow for at least 10 seconds. OSAS is considered under diagnosed and it is assessed by a full-night sleep polysomnography. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is considered the first line treatment to OSAS, however physical exercise has emerged as an adjunct and/or alternative strategy to CPAP in OSAS patients.
