The Effects of aerobic exercise on cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy and coronary heart disease risk factors in sleep disordered breathing men

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of walking exercise program in sleep disordered breathing men on cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy and coronary heart disease risk factors. The subjects of the study were sleep disordered breathing men, which were divided into exercise group(N=11, Age=45.7 ± 7.1yrs) and control group(N=10, Age=44.2 ± 5.9yrs). Walking exercise program was 3 times a week for 16 weeks. And the change of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy and coronary heart disease risk factors(BMI, TC, TG, HDL-C, SBP, DBP, and glucose) have been measured before and after 16 weeks respectively. As the result of this study, Valsalva ratio(p<.05) and Fall in SBP(p<.05) were significantly increased. HDL-C(p<.01) was also significantly increased, but on the other hand TC(p<.05), TG(p<.01), BMI(p<.01), glucose(p<.01), SBP (p<.05) and DBP(p<.05) were significantly decreased after walking exercise program for 16 weeks. In conclusion, regular aerobic exercise improve the quality of life with positive effects in apnea index, cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy and coronary heart disease risk factors of sleep disordered breathing men.
