Clinical Trial 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.
Description:
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a syndrome characterized by recurrent upper airway
obstructions and accompanying a decrease in oxygen saturation during sleep. The prevalence of
OSAS is increasing with the aging population and the obesity epidemic. OSAS has adverse
effects on the functional capacity and quality of life of patients. This study aims to
examine the effect 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, in groups of 4 to 5 participants, synchronously in live sessions in an
internet-based telerehabilitation environment. Yoga sessions will progress according to the
protocol determined according to the 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. Then, the final
measurements of the groups will be compared with statistical methods.
