Influence of isokinetic inspiratory muscle training at antero cervical temperature in individuals with obstructive sleep apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) results in mechanical stress induced by pharyngeal collapse during sleep, with increase of inflammatory mediators, can be evaluated through Infrared Thermography (IT) (Jarnalo, 2018) Therapies such as isokinetic inspiratory muscle training (Herkenrath, 2018) have been applied as an effective method to minimize respiratory deficit resulting from chronic diseases, impacting on the improvement of the quality of life. The aime of study was to evaluate the influence of isokinetic inspiratory muscle training on airway thermal imaging in subjects with OSA. The study was composed of 20 participants with OSA (polysomnography diagnosed) approved by the research ethics committee, of a sample for convenience, divided into two groups: Group Training (TG) (n 10) and control group (CG) (n 10) Both patients was acclimation in a room with temperature of 23 degrees, and the images were performed (FlirONE Pro camera) in a standard way, with a distance of one meter to the participant, who remained seated in a chair with a cervical hyperextension. The TG was submitted to isokinetic inspiratory muscle training (IMT) with load adjusted automatically (30% of the Sindex) for 30 repetitions with POWERbreathe K5. The thermal images recording in two moments (M1= initial) and (M2=10 minutes after M1) and the CG they were at rest and thermal image recording in M1 and M2. Acute responses in the temperature reduction after the stimulation of IMT in the TG were demonstrated (p=0,087) and satble on CG. The isokinetic inspiratory muscle training could impact on the reduction of antero cervical region temperature in individuals with OSA.
