    Finally some good news. Is HIIT also recommended, to challenge lungs and better VO2-max?

      That will be part of the benefit. I would say the greater benefit is improving your mitochondria in your cells. Additionally, HIIT exercise has been shown to reduce the effects of sleep deprivation

      Great information! As you say, the greatest challenge is to overcome the tiredness associated with OSA and start exercising. My tip is to first control the apneas the best you can (probably with CPAP) and then go on with a fit plan and healthy lifestyle whilst trying to look for a solution for the problem, not only a remedy.

      @@Rca1969 Good points! Sometimes people take quite some time to get the relief from the CPAP. So using multiple modalities is helpful and something I'll be discussing in this series. What did you find helpful from this video? Thanks!

      Hi!
      What I found helpful from the video is the exercise routines. I think they are really useful even if you are healthy and with no OSA.
      I think your abbreviation SLEEP it’s very appropriate for dealing with OSA, but there are other cases where this is just not enough.
      In my case, and due to my profession, I’m dealing with CPAP for a year and cannot meet the requirements for going back to my job because of my symptoms.
      I’m busy preparing for a Jaw Surgery. After a lot of studies, they recommended me a MMA here in Spain.
      I’m 54, BMI 26 and with Retrognathism.
      This will widen my airway and end the problem.
      I really think that with this medical issue every patient is different and influenced by multiple factors.

      @@Rca1969 oh that method gets great results regardless of severity, the shortcoming is having to apply it and really work the protocol. Keep me updated on your surgery, wishing you a speedy recovery!
