acute coronary syndrome, neuromuscular training, cardiac rehabilitation, functional capacity
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to analyse the effects of neuromuscular training on functional capacity in patients with acute coronary syndrome, compared to the classic strength training of the cardiac rehabilitation programs
Detailed description
So far, there are no previous studies that analyze the effects of neuromuscular training on functional capacity in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Aim: The main objective of this study is to assess the effects of a 10 weeks neuromuscular training vs traditional strength training programme in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Design: Randomized clinical trial
Interventions
OTHERNeuromuscular training
The exercise training was developed based on assuring the correct performance of the exercise focusing in motor control.
The exercise training was developed based on standard strength training used in cardiac rehabiliation programmes
