Study Summary
This proposed study will determine whether a home-based exercise intervention that avoids continuous supervision and exercise-related ischemic pain improves walking performance at 52-week follow-up in people with PAD, compared to an attention control group and compared to a high intensity exercise intervention. In our secondary aims, we will determine whether high intensity exercise improves six-minute walk distance as compared to the attention control group. In secondary aims, we will also determine whether low intensity exercise and high intensity home-based exercise, respectively, improve patient reported outcomes, physical activity, and treadmill walking performance compared to attention control. Our intervention directly addresses two aspects of current practice guidelines that are major barriers to exercise for patients with PAD: 1) the recommendation for supervised exercise and 2) the recommendation for high intensity ischemic-pain inducing walking exercise.
Primary Outcome
In the six-minute walk, participants walk back and forth along a 100-ft hallway for six minutes after standardized instructions to complete as many laps as possible. Distance covered in six minutes is recorded.
