Summary

Patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are less physically active than healthy controls. First choice of treatment for OSA is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy with an improvement in oxygen saturation and sleep. No improvement on physical activity has been shown. The current study would randomize patients in a standard care group (CPAP) and an intervention group (CPAP + telecoaching). Telecoaching will be performed for 3 months, with physical activity assessment before, after 3 months and 12 years.

Conditions

• Physical Activity
• Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Interventions
