First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test 16 people with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) to see how different types of exercise—walking on a treadmill, traditional strength training, and circuit training—affect blood flow, oxygen levels, and leg pain. Participants will try each exercise type in random order, and researchers will measure changes in their blood and heart rate. The goal is to find which exercise works best to improve symptoms.
