- Abstract
The article presents a randomized controlled trial which examined whether supervised treadmill exercise or lower extremity resistance training improved the functional performance of patients with peripheral arterial disease with and without classic intermittent claudication symptoms. The primary outcome was six-minute walk performance and the short physical performance battery. 6-minute walk performance, brachial artery flow-mediated dilation, treadmill walking performance, and quality of life were improved with supervised treadmill training. The short physical performance battery scores were not improved. Lower extremity resistance training improved functional performance.
