Abstract

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent form of sleep disordered breathing that increases ones risk for numerous chronic health conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus. A limited number of studies have suggested that exercise training, mostly focusing on light-to-moderate intensities, may positively impact OSA severity and other health outcomes. This case study describes a moderately active man who was diagnosed as pre-diabetic through his physician and found to likely have moderate severity OSA through at-home screening device. He underwent eight of aerobic training at vigorous intensity.
