Summary

Background: Resistance training is effective in cardiac rehabilitation; however, other types of training, such as elastic tubing, are rarely used and may present good therapeutic alternatives. Due to its practicality and cost effectiveness, training using elastic tubing may become an important tool in cardiovascular rehabilitation. Objective: To evaluate muscular strength, functional capacity, aerobic capacity and quality of life in patients with cardiovascular diseases in phase II of rehabilitation, after resistance training with elastic tubing. Methods: patients with cardiovascular diseases performed training with elastic tubing for six weeks, twice a week and the load was progressively increased every 15 days. The following muscle groups were evaluated and trained: shoulder abductors and flexors, elbow flexors, and knee flexors and extensors. Muscular strength was evaluated using a dynamometer; functional capacity with a 6-minute walk test and ergospirometric test; and quality of life using the SF-36 questionnaire. Data normality was assessed using the Shapiro Wilk test. Comparisons before and after training were performed using the paired Student's t test or the Wilcoxon test (p \<5%).
