Clinical Trial 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.


Clinical Trial Description

Patients with intermittent claudication will by a web-based program be randomized to either "five plus training" or walking at least 30 minutes three times per week. During the "five plus training" the participants are standing in front of a wall, which is used for support of the balance. The body is lifted with the calf musculature to the maximal height that the subject can achieve. This is repeated until pain is felt in the calf musculature. Following the initiation of pain the subject performs five extra repetitions. The five extra calf raises are included to secure induction of ischemia followed by reperfusion to secure maximal training effect. The patients are followed by absolute walking distance on a treadmill, quality of life questionnaire, and Ankle-brachial index. ;
