Effects of Different Protocols of Physical Training on Levels of Muscle Strength and Functional Capacity

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Peripheral Arterial Disease

• Registration Number: NCT03092336
• Lead Sponsor: 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
