About

Traditional aerobic training and muscle resistance ('strength') training have been shown to be effective for improving functional and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcomes in peripheral arterial disease (PAD). However, the transfer of the current resistance exercise modes proposed to other activities of daily living (ADLs) is questionable. Moderate intensity functional training (MIFT) has emerged with the aim of achieving cardiovascular and neuromuscular adaptations simultaneously with functional exercises typical of ADLs. The effect of MIFT in patients with PAD is not yet known. Our purpose is to verify the influence of the combination of intermittent treadmill walking exercise with MIFT compared with intermittent treadmill walking exercise on functional capacity, HRQoL, biochemical and hemodynamic parameters in patients with PAD.
