Walking on a treadmill
Regular six-minute walks on a treadmill improve the endurance and quality of life for people with the leg blood-vessel blockage called peripheral arterial disease (PAD), a new study said.
Over the six months, the participants who did their regular six-minute treadmill walks increased their walking distance, while those who did not walk regularly saw a decrease.
While walking is a effective recommendation for people with PAD, the study was different in two ways. All previous studies have focused on patients with intermittent claudicating -- the symptom of PAD, but some of the patients in this study were asymptomatic. Also, testing of leg strength was included. That was the largest trial to do so.
It was recommended a 40-minute walk three times a week for at least six months can come up with good results.
