Summary

Cardiac rehabilitation includes aerobic and anaerobic training adapted to cardiovascular pathology for which cardiac rehabilitation is prescribed. It is essential to adapt the content of these cardiac rehabilitation sessions to optimize aerobic and anaerobic performance and quality of life. Improvement of the first ventilatory threshold is one of the main objectives since it illustrates the adaptation of the patient to submaximal exercise, typical of everyday life. The research laboratory "Autonomous Nervous System - Epidemiology, Physiology, Engineering, Health" (SPA-EPIS) has an international expertise in training optimization in top-athletes. He have shown the importance of the relationship between the power-force-velocity profile and athletes performances.

Detailed description

In this sudy, each patient has a force and a velocity that can be optimized with training to achieve maximum power. This optimization can be evaluated through a force-velocity profile, measured from an only sprint on a cycloergometer. The hypothesis that force-velocity profile could be used in cardiac rehabilitation in coronary patients to induce a force-velocity balance adapted through personalized sessions and regular medical follow-up. This prospective, controlled, randomized and open label study will attempt to evaluate further the relevance of force or velocity training based on the initial force-velocity profile of coronary patients included in the cardiac rehabilitation program in the University Hospital of Saint-Etienne.

Conditions

• Acute Coronary Syndrome

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Sprints	Two sprints of 8 seconds on a cycle ergometer will be performed for determine Force/Velocity Profile (FVP). Realized at inclusion and 2 months after.
OTHER	Vertical jumps	Two vertical jumps will be performed. Height of theses vertical jumps will be measured by application "My jump 2" to determine muscle power. Realized at inclusion and 2 months after.
OTHER	Questionary Short Form-12 (SF-12)	Questionary Short Form-12 (SF-12) will be performed to evaluate quality of life. It is composed of 12 questions. Realized at inclusion and 2 months after.
DEVICE	activity actigraph	Activity actigraph will be wearing by patient during 7 consecutive days. It measures the level of physical activity and the sedentary lifestyle of patients. Realized at inclusion and 2 months after.
OTHER	Program composed of two 2 training strategies	Program composed of two 2 training strategies according to the initial Force/Velocity Profile (FVP) will be realized at the inclusion. There are : * Strategy "experimental-speed": speed training strategy for subjects with a force-speed profile (PFV) in favour of force * Strategy "experimental-force": force training strategy for subjects with a force-speed profile (PFV) in favour of speed.
OTHER	Program of usual practice	Program composed of training in force and speed independently of the initial Force/Velocity Profile (FVP).
