About this study

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

Treatment and study plan

Neuromuscular Training

Other

The exercise training was developed based on assuring the correct performance of the exercise focusing in motor control.

Conventional Strength Training

Other

The exercise training was developed based on standard strength training used in cardiac rehabiliation programmes
