Summary

The effect of expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) on sleep quality, disease severity, and respiratory muscle strength has been previously investigated in OSA syndrom. Only the effects of the high-intensity short-term EMST study in moderate OSAS patients were studied. High intensity and low intensity EMST has advantages and disadvantages.The study aims to compare the effects of high (60% MEP) and low (30% MEP) expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) on disease severity, sleep efficiency, snoring, fatigue severity and quality of life in severe OSAS patients.
