• The structured presleep exercise programme includes breathing, aerobic, strengthening and oropharyngeal exercise with rest breaks. — Development and investigation of the efficacy of an interactive, web-based game exercise system (ApnoeaTheraPlay) for individuals with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome: study protocol for a randomised, single-blind, controlled trial
• The structured presleep exercise group receives non-gamified weekly video and training materials prepared by physiotherapists. — Development and investigation of the efficacy of an interactive, web-based game exercise system (ApnoeaTheraPlay) for individuals with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome: study protocol for a randomised, single-blind, controlled trial
• Exercise-based interventions may support OSAS management through weight loss, improved airway function, reduced inflammation and oxidative stress, and improved sleep architecture. — Development and investigation of the efficacy of an interactive, web-based game exercise system (ApnoeaTheraPlay) for individuals with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome: study protocol for a randomised, single-blind, controlled trial
• Oropharyngeal exercises are included because strengthening upper-airway muscles may help maintain airway patency and reduce AHI. — Development and investigation of the efficacy of an interactive, web-based game exercise system (ApnoeaTheraPlay) for individuals with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome: study protocol for a randomised, single-blind, controlled trial
• Combined exercise programmes may have broader effects than aerobic exercise alone by improving respiratory function and upper airway stability. — Development and investigation of the efficacy of an interactive, web-based game exercise system (ApnoeaTheraPlay) for individuals with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome: study protocol for a randomised, single-blind, controlled trial
