TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Sleep Apnea Syndrome A1 - Goodman, Catherine A1 - Helgeson, Kevin PY - 2011 T2 - Exercise Prescription for Medical Conditions: Handbook for Physical Therapists AB - This disorder causes interrupted sleep patterns and respiratory gas exchange. The syndrome results in significant daytime sleepiness due to upper airway obstruction and sleep disturbances. The three types of sleep apnea are obstructive, central, and mixed. Obstructive apnea results from collapse of the pharyngeal tissues, and central apnea results from decreased cerebral respiratory control. Sleep apnea syndrome is related to obesity, large neck circumference, eating disorders, depression, and sedentary activity levels. Clients are commonly treated with continuous positive airway pressure during sleep. Clients do not attain deep restorative sleep, which results in daytime fatigue, headaches, and cognitive impairments. The lack of regular exercise has been associated with increased levels of sleep apnea.1 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/04/19 UR - fadavispt.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1133952349 ER -
