Effect Of Tele-Yoga On Aerobic Capacity, Respiratory Muscle Strength, And Cognitive Performance In Patients With OSAS

Summary

OSAS has adverse effects on the functional capacity and quality of life of patients. This study aims to examine the impact of yoga on aerobic capacity, respiratory muscle strength, and cognitive performance in patients with OSAS. Patients will be randomly divided into two groups training (yoga) and control groups. The physical and demographic characteristics of the cases who signed the consent form will be recorded. Anthropometric measurements, circumference measurements, respiratory muscle strength (MIP and MEP), six-minute walking test (6MWT), and cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) will be performed. Corsi Blocks Touch Test, Continuous Performance Test, and Stroop Test will be applied to evaluate cognitive performance. The Pittsburg Sleep Index will be used for sleep quality, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale for sleepiness, and the SF-36 scales for health-related quality of life. Subjects with OSAS in the yoga group will be included in group-based yoga sessions of 60 minutes, 3 times a week for 12 weeks. Unilateral basal and apical thoracic expansion exercises will be taught to the patients with OSAS in the control group in the first session. They will be followed as a home program. At the end of the sixth and twelfth week, the evaluations will be made again and the result measurements will be taken.
