[Ambulatory vascular exercise training in Dortmund].
Peripheral arterial occlusive disease is chronic and progressive. One of the reasons is lack of movement. The pain-free walking distance can be increased permanently through walking exercises described in the guidelines of the German Society for Vascular Training. Form and order of the training are described. The pleasure in movement and preservation of the own activity increases the motivation of the participants.
