- Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre
- Brief Summary
Introduction: the peripheral obstructive arterial disease is an condition that affects around 15% of the world population interfering in muscle strength, life quality and functional capacity of patients.
- Detailed Description
Study aim: to assess three methods of physical training (strength training, aerobic training and electrical stimulation training) in muscle strength, functional capacity and life quality of patients with peripheral obstructive arterial disease

Group Intervention Description Electrical Stimulation Electrical Stimulation The training with electrostimulation will be performed with the following intensity: Medium frequency current: 2.500Hz Modulation frequency: up to 50Hz Time on / off: 1: 2 Average session time 10 to 15 min Being applied in the same muscle groups that will be trained in the group that will perform strength training. Strength training Strength training There will be 10 exercises: upper limbs: Supine with dumbbells; High pulley pull; Alternating thread with dumbbells; Triceps dumbbell test; Lower limbs: knee extensor, squatting with body weight, plantar flexion, knee flexion and plantar dorsiflexion. The session time will be from 45 minutes to one hour 2 times weekly totaling at the end of the 12 weeks, 24 strength training sessions.
