The participants listed here were 43 overweight adults aged 18-55 with a moderate – severe OSA diagnosis. The 12-week exercise program demonstrated that exercise was a conduit in the reduction of AHI in sedentary overweight/obese adults. Research has indicated that physically active patients have a reduced risk of OSA compared to inactive or less active individuals.
