Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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 program 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)

Participants Investigators Outcome Assessors
Participants will be assigned to one of two study groups by the person conducting the intervention.

All participants receive mental practice (real or sham) and the exercise program.

The evaluators are unaware of the assignment at all times.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Action observation plus exercise

Therapeutic exercise plus action observation training

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Therapeutic exercise program plus action observation training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants make an observation of actions related to the training they are going to perform before each session. Subsequently, they perform the therapeutic exercise program of 6 sessions in a period of 2 weeks.

Sham observation plus exercise

Therapeutic exercise plus sham action observation training

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR

Therapeutic exercise program plus sham action observation training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants make a sham observation before each session. Subsequently, they perform the therapeutic exercise program of 6 sessions in a period of 2 weeks.
