Effect of 12-week high-intensity interval training on hemodynamic variables at rest and during exercise in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea.

This study aimed to investigate the impact of 12 weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on hemodynamic variables at rest and during exercise in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea. Twenty-six obese adults with moderate-to-severe OSA (AHI = 42 ± 22.9 e/h) were randomly assigned to HIIT or a control group.

Effect of high-intensity interval training on obstructive sleep apnea severity: A randomized controlled trial.

Vigorous physical activity has been associated with a reduced risk of developing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, whether high-intensity interval training (HIIT) reduces OSA severity remains unclear. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the impact of 12 weeks of HIIT on the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and sleep parameters in participants with moderate-severe OSA.
