VO₂ Max Testing for Sleep Apnea
Professional VO₂ max testing for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Cardiovascular fitness assessment and exercise prescription for sleep apnea management.
OSA affects cardiovascular fitness:
- Reduced VO₂ max due to sleep fragmentation
- Increased cardiovascular disease risk
- Exercise capacity may be limited
- VO₂ max testing establishes baseline
Exercise improves OSA:
- Weight loss reduces apnea severity
- Cardiovascular fitness supports overall health
- VO₂ max testing guides exercise prescription
- Combined with CPAP for best outcomes
For patients on CPAP therapy:
- Better sleep quality improves exercise tolerance
- VO₂ max may improve with CPAP compliance
- Annual testing tracks improvements
Combined VO₂ max and RMR testing for weight loss:
- Weight loss is key OSA treatment
- VO₂ max: Exercise intensity for fat burning
- RMR: Accurate caloric needs
- Comprehensive weight loss support
Treated OSA (on CPAP): Generally safe for testing
Untreated severe OSA: Physician clearance recommended-cardiovascular risk considerations
VO₂ Max Test: $250
RMR Test: $150
Comprehensive metabolic testing for sleep apnea and cardiovascular health assessment.
