About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Intermittent Claudication focused on measuring Mitochondria, muscle, Exercise, Blood Flow Velocity

Eligibility Criteria

50 Years - 80 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to evaluate whether walking capacity in patients with intermittent claudication is improved more by home-based 5+ exercise training than by current recommendations of daily walking. The study will elucidate if such a potential effect is dependent on changes in mitochondrial respiratory capacity, blood flow or both.
