MORENO DE AZEVEDO, João Carlos  e  SILVA, Rodrigo Calixta da. EXERCISE CARDIOPULMONARY TEST AND FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY IN OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA: SYSTEMATIC REVIEW. Investig. andina [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.40, pp.123-139.  Epub 18-Jun-2020. ISSN 0124-8146.

Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) is used for clinical applications in assessing intolerance to undiagnosed exercise and in determining functional capacity. CPET is important in clinical research in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), with the need to measure functional capacity and physical limitations. The objective was to identify the protocol and ergometer most used in patients with OSA if the protocol reflects on the functional capacity level and to evaluate the behavior of peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak). It is a systematic review carried out from 2005 to 2017. The search was performed in Pub-Med, LILACS, Medline and PEDro databases. The 25 studies analyzed the total sample was 1124 patients. The studies that analyzed VO2peak totaled 583 patients. The ramp protocol was the most used, the choice must be individual, considering the characteristics and limitations of the study population.
