Abstract
INTRODUCTION Supervised exercise training is among the first-line therapies for patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). Current recommendations for exercise include guidance focusing on claudication pain, programme and session duration, and frequency. However, no guidance is offered regarding exercise training intensity. This study aims to compare the effects of 12-week-long supervised walking exercise training (high-intensity interval training (HIIT) vs moderate-intensity exercise (MOD)) in patients with chronic symptomatic PAD. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This study is a monocentric, interventional, non-blinded randomised controlled trial. 60 patients (30 in each group) will be randomly allocated (by using the random permuted blocks) to 12 weeks (three times a week) of HIIT or MOD. For HIIT, exercise sessions will consist of alternating brief high-intensity (≥85% of the peak heart rate (HRpeak)) periods (≤60 s) of work with periods of passive rest. Patients will be asked to complete 1 and then 2 sets of 5-7 (progressing to 10-15×60 s) walking intervals. For the MOD group, exercise training sessions will consist of an alternation of periods of work performed at moderate intensity (≤76% HRpeak) and periods of passive rest. Interventions will be matched by training load. The primary outcome will be the maximal walking distance. Secondary outcomes will include functional performance, functional capacity, heath-related quality of life, self-perceived walking abilities, physical activity and haemodynamic parameters. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The Angiof-HIIT Study was approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of the Canton de Vaud (study number: 2022-01752). Written consent is mandatory prior to enrolment and randomisation. The results will be disseminated via national and international scientific meetings, scientific peer-reviewed journals and social media. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT05612945.

Abstract
Background: Peripheral artery disease affects over 236 million people globally and the
classic symptom is intermittent claudication (IC) which is associated with
reduction in physical activity. The evidence that supervised exercise
programmes (SEPs) improve pain-free and maximal walking distance is
irrefutable. However, adherence rates are low with exercise-related pain
cited as a contributing factor. National and international guidelines
recommend exercising at a moderate to maximal level of claudication pain to
improve walking ability; however, exercising pain-free or at mild
claudication pain has been shown to achieve this outcome. There is limited
evidence that compares the relative effects of exercise prescribed at
different levels of claudication pain. Objective: The objective of this study is to directly compare the effects of exercise
prescribed at three different levels of claudication pain on walking
performance. Design: This study will be a single-centre randomised controlled trial. Methods: Based on an a priori power calculation, 51 patients with IC
will be allocated to 24 weeks of twice-weekly pain-free (PF), moderate pain
(MOD-P) or maximal pain (MAX-P) exercise. The PF group will cease exercise
at the onset of claudication (1 on the 0–4 IC rating scale), the MOD-P group
will stop once moderate pain is reached (2 on the rating scale) and the
MAX-P group will stop once maximal pain is reached (4 on the rating
scale). Analysis: Outcome measures will be assessed at baseline, 12 and 24 weeks adopting an
analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) to compare MWD across three time points. The
primary outcome for the trial will be change in maximal treadmill walking
distance at 12 and 24 weeks. Registration: Trial registration number: NCT04370327.

Beyond the Patient's Report: Self-Reported, Subjective, Objective and Estimated Walking Disability in Patients with Peripheral Artery Disease. Diagnostics (Basel) 2021; 11:diagnostics11111991.

Abstract
Among patients with peripheral artery disease, an altered estimation of walking ability reported to the physician may influence the choice of treatment. We compared claudication distance (CD) values reported by patients or assessed by validated protocols to elaborate a formula capable of estimating more reliable values. Three hundred fifty-nine patients with claudication were measured at the time of entry into a rehabilitation program. Walking performance was obtained by patients' reports (self-reported claudication distance, SR-CD) and was directly assessed to determine the claudication and maximal walking distance by the 6-min test (6-CD and 6-MWD) and an incremental treadmill test (T-CD and T-MWD). The degree of muscle deoxygenation was objectively determined at the calf by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) during the treadmill test. Among the 289 subjects analyzed, SR-CD exceeded both 6-CD and T-CD (+155 and +182 m, respectively). SR-CD was moderately correlated with T-CD (r = 0.30), 6-CD (r = 0.32), and 6-MWD (r = 0.29) but not with muscle deoxygenation per meter walked, unlike T-CD and 6-CD. A formula adjusted for the presence of diabetes reduced patient overestimation by 92%. The patient's reported claudication distance was generally overestimated compared to objective measures, and it was made more reliable through a corrective factor for easy use in a clinical setting.
