Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This research project aims to investigate the gender-based difference in patients with peripheral artery disease. To attend this, this study has two specific objectives:

Objective 1: To identify gender-specific barriers towards exercise and physical activity in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD).

Objective 2: To evaluate gender-specific differences in functional capacity and cardiovascular function and regulation in patients with PAD at rest, during and following a single session of maximal exercise.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

No intervention

160 men and women with PAD will be recruited.

Group Type OTHER

No intervention (Observational study)

Intervention Type OTHER

160 patients will be recruited to:

* Fill in questionnaires related to demographic characteristics, severity of disease and physical activity.
* Perform a six-minute walk test Comparison between men and women will be performed.

Control session

Intervention Type OTHER

Out of the 160 participants of the observational study, at least 40 (20 men and 20 women) will be recruited.

In the control session participants will be seated in resting position for 15 minutes.

Exercise session

Intervention Type OTHER

40 patients will perform a single maximal exercise test on a treadmill. Speed will be maintained at 3.2 km/h and the grade will be increased with 2% every 2 min following Gardner's protocol.

Control session

40 patients (men and women) will complete this session.
