Effects of Neuromuscular Training on Functional Capacity in Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Acute Coronary Syndrome
• Interventions: Other: Conventional strength training; Other: Neuromuscular training

• Registration Number: NCT04246008
• Lead Sponsor: Cardenal Herrera University

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
