Eligibility
Age
30 Years to 60 Years
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Individuals of both sexes; aged 30 to 60 years; with symptoms of snoring and drowsiness related to Obstructive Sleep Apnea; who have the physical and cognitive conditions to participate in the intervention
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Individuals with insufficient scores to characterize Obstructive Sleep Apnea; volunteers who already undergo another treatment for the disorder such as the positive pressure device used at night Continuous Positive Airway Pressure; oral devices; medication; previous nasal and jaw surgeries; those who do not agree to sign the Free and Informed Consent Form; those who are not present when the questionnaires are administered
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: Investigate whether there is effectiveness of resistance physical exercise and oropharyngeal exercise in reducing the symptoms of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, for this purpose polysomnography and the questionnaires Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), where an Apnea Hypopnea Index below 15, a score below 5 on the PSQI and score below 10 in ESS.;Outcome found 1: After analyzing the pre- and post-intervention results, no significant difference was found in the apnea-hypopnea index when the interventions were compared to the control (p=0.134). Regarding sleep quality (PSQI) and sleepiness (ESS), both exercise interventions achieved significance (p=0.044 and p=0.020 respectively), with an effect size in the PSQI in the Resistance Exercises group of 0.656 and in the Oropharyngeal Exercises group of 0.597; and an effect size in the ESS in the Resistance Exercises group of 0.259 and in the Oropharyngeal Exercises group of 0.699. | — |

| Expected outcome 2: To analyze whether there is a significant improvement in the repercussions on cardiovascular risk predictors after the interventions, through the body mass index (BMI), body mass, waist-hip index (WHI), cervical, calf, waist and calf circumferences.;Outcome found 2: No significant differences were found in cardiovascular risk variables, with effect sizes below 0.1. ;Expected outcome 3: Analyze whether there is a significant improvement in respiratory function, through the manovacuometry exam that provides maximum inspiratory pressure (Pimax) and maximum expiratory pressure (Pemax), and the Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) exam.;Outcome found 3: Both interventions improved inspiratory strength (Pimax) with p=0.023 and effect size of 0.543 in the oropharyngeal group and 0.480 in the resisted group. In expiratory strength, only the oropharyngeal group obtained a relevant improvement with p=0.003 and effect size of 0.492. And in the measurement of peak expiratory flow, no improvement was found (p=0.248). | — |
