The purpose of this study was to compare cardiovascular responses of participants with PAD and intermittent calf claudication to those of an aged-matched reference group of men without these conditions during
graded treadmill exercise testing.
An anthropometric analysis was performed; patients were familiarised with the treadmill and visited the laboratory the following day for determination of ankle and brachial blood pressure, blood analysis, an ECG, a 6-minute walk test and a
graded treadmill exercise test to maximal claudication pain.

graded treadmill exercise in trained and untrained runners.
Overground assisted gait velocity and unassisted gait velocity correlated highly to peak treadmill walking velocity sustained during a
graded treadmill exercise test.
Aerobic capacity, assessed on a
graded treadmill exercise test, improved by 33% over the course of 6 months from a mean baseline of 55,475 watt-seconds.

The laboratory test (generally regarded as the best measure of aerobic fitness) involves the direct measurement of maximal oxygen uptake [VO.sub.2max], m1/kg/mm) during maximal
graded treadmill exercise. Laboratory measurement of [VO.sub.2max] is expensive, time consuming, requires highly trained personnel and may not be appropriate for all individuals.
The purpose of this study was to compare cardiovascular and pain responses of subjects with PAD and intermittent calf claudication to those of an aged-matched reference group of men without these conditions during recovery from
graded treadmill exercise tests.

On the second visit, patients performed a
graded treadmill exercise test (GTT) to measure physiological variables during maximal exercise.
Eligible individuals first underwent an initial zero-incline treadmill tolerance test to evaluate their ability to ambulate and then a screening treadmill stress test (
graded treadmill exercise testing [GXT]).
There was no correlation between total pain perceived on the
graded treadmill exercise test.
