Immediate Effects of Mental Practice and Therapeutic Exercise in Mild Smokers
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects who would add mental practice based on action observation to a therapeutic exercise program in young mild smokers.
The main question it aims to answer is whether the observation of actions prior to the implementation of a therapeutic exercise session improves the response to it on respiratory, strength and muscle function variables.
Participants will be assigned to one of 2 study groups:
G1) Therapeutic exercise plus action observation training (n=20) G2) Therapeutic exercise plus sham action observation training (n=20)

Experimental: Action observation plus exercise Therapeutic exercise plus action observation training |
Behavioral: Theapeutic exercise plus action observation training
Participants make an observation of actions related to the training they are going to perform. Subsequently, they perform the therapeutic exercise session.

Sham Comparator: Sham observation plus exercise Therapeutic exercise plus sham action observation training |
Behavioral: Therapeutic exercise plus sham observation training
Participants make a sham observation. Subsequently, they perform the therapeutic exercise session.
