High Intensity Interval Training In pATiEnts With Intermittent Claudication (INITIATE): a Proof-of-concept Prospective Cohort Study to Assess Acceptability, Feasibility and Potential Clinical Efficacy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating High-intensity interval training for Peripheral Arterial Disease and Intermittent Claudication. Completed, enrolled 70 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This INITIATE study evaluates the use of high-intensity interval training as a treatment modality for patients with intermittent claudication - an ambulatory leg pain caused by narrowed arteries that supply the lower limbs. It is an observational cohort study considering high-intensity interval training (HIIT) as a treatment for intermittent claudication, consisting of two workstreams. Workstream 1: an initial observational cohort study to consider the feasibility of the intervention and exclusion criteria. Workstream 2: a proof of concept study utilising the altered intervention and exclusion criteria following recommendations highlighted during workstream 1.
