Cardiovascular and Respiratory Rehabilitation

Evaluation of the effects and means of rehabilitation, including exercise, on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
The main focus of this project concerns muscular vascular adaptation following aerobic training.
other lines of research are developed such as:
-The interest and safety of muscle strengthening in cardiac rehabilitation.
-Relation between cognition, breathing and balance in COPD patients
