[The value of walking exercise in treatment of intermittent claudication].
Physical training is one of the basic measures for all patients suffering from a generalized atherosclerosis. Specific training forms for PAD patients include home-based and structured, organized physical training programs; these are discussed and the results of meta-analyses presented. Whereas the published materials available for a home-based training is non-conclusive, structured training programs will lead to a statistically significant and clinically relevant improvement of a PAD patients' functional capacity.
