Effects of conventional and virtual reality cardiovascular rehabilitation in body composition and functional capacity of patients with heart diseases: randomized clinical trial / Efeitos da reabilitação cardiovascular convencional e da realidade virtual na composição corporal e na capacidade funcional de pacientes cardiopatas: triagem clínica randomizada
The VRG showed a significant increase in body fat percentage and fat weight when compared to the CRG, and a smaller amount of total water. There was a significant improvement in functional capacity evidenced by the increase in the distance covered in the 6MWT (54.00 m and 32.25 m in the CRG and VRG, respectively), but the gains did not differ between the groups.
Conclusion:
The two rehabilitation modalities had no effect on the body composition of the groups. In addition, the improvement in functional capacity was similar in both groups
