Official Title: Oxygen Saturation in the Leg Musculature Affected by Peripheral Arterial Disease During Exercise on an Arm Ergometer
Brief Summary:
Studies with arm ergometer (AE) training have shown benefits in the functional capacity of patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) bypassing the main barrier to exercise in these patients, pain during walking exercise.The only study that proposed to investigate the mechanism involved in this adaptation observed that chronically training with EB promoted improvement in the oxygen saturation (StO?) of the leg muscles during walking.However, how arm exercise could improve leg muscle StO? remains unknown.The…
