Effect of exercise training on sleep apnea: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

TLDR
Among adult patients with OSA, exercise as the sole intervention was associated with improved clinical outcomes and relative risks (RR) and odds ratios (OR) showed decreases in AHI.

Interrelationship between Sleep and Exercise: A Systematic Review

TL;DR: It is suggested that sleep and exercise exert substantial positive effects on one another; however, to reach a true consensus, the mechanisms behind these observations must first be elucidated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome, Objectively Measured Physical Activity and Exercise Training Interventions: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

TL;DR: Objective measurement of physical activity in routine OSA management and well-designed clinical trials are recommended and future interventions (including exercise training) focusing on increasing physical activity levels may have important clinical impacts on both OSA severity and the burden of associated co-morbidities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Weight loss and lifestyle interventions for obstructive sleep apnoea in adults: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: Until future research further supports the differential effectiveness among lifestyle interventions on OSA, those addressing weight loss through diet and exercise‐training may be the most effective treatments for male patients with moderate‐severe OSA.

Fatigue in Chronic Respiratory Diseases: Theoretical Framework and Implications For Real-Life Performance and Rehabilitation.

TL;DR: This review provides several arguments to select the ideal test of performance fatigability in CRD and to translate the mechanistic laboratory findings into the clinical practice and real-world performance and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of various fatigue scales.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of physical exercise in obstructive sleep apnea.

TL;DR: Obstructive sleep apnea patients involved in a regular, predominantly aerobic, exercise program have shown a reduction in disease severity and in daytime sleepiness, as well as an increase in sleep efficiency and in peak oxygen consumption, regardless of weight loss.

Measuring inconsistency in meta-analyses

TL;DR: A new quantity is developed, I 2, which the authors believe gives a better measure of the consistency between trials in a meta-analysis, which is susceptible to the number of trials included in the meta- analysis.

Meta-analysis of observational studies in epidemiology - A proposal for reporting

TL;DR: A checklist contains specifications for reporting of meta-analyses of observational studies in epidemiology, including background, search strategy, methods, results, discussion, and conclusion should improve the usefulness ofMeta-an analyses for authors, reviewers, editors, readers, and decision makers.

Assessing the quality of reports of randomized clinical trials : is blinding necessary?

TL;DR: An instrument to assess the quality of reports of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) in pain research is described and its use to determine the effect of rater blinding on the assessments of quality is described.

Bariatric surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: Effective weight loss was achieved in morbidly obese patients after undergoing bariatric surgery, and a substantial majority of patients with diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and obstructive sleep apnea experienced complete resolution or improvement.
