Summary

Whereas the efficacy of exercise interventions has been abundantly proven in male with peripheral artery disease (PAD), it remains to be determined whether these interventions are effective in women. The aim of this randomized controlled trial which will be performed with 34 PAD women will be to investigating the effects of 12 weeks of supervised walking on functional capacity and cardiovascular function and regulation at rest and during exercise.

Conditions

• Peripheral Artery Disease
• Intermittent Claudication

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Stretching exercise group	In each stretching class, approximately 20 exercises will be performed. The total duration of the session will be approximately 30 minutes.
OTHER	Walking training group	Patients will perform two walking session per week, each consisting of 15\*2-min walking bouts, with 2-min of rest in between. The intensity will be set at heart rate corresponding to the pain threshold.
