  • Title: [Exercise therapy in peripheral arterial occlusive disease in advanced age--a sensible measure?].
    Author: Schütz RM.
    Journal: Z Gerontol; 1988; 21(6):327-9. PubMed ID: 3239156.
    Abstract:
    The ability of developing collateral vessels in obliterative arteriosclerosis decreases with age. A so-called interval-walking exercise, i.e., repeated walking with interposed test periods, will be effective as long as performed regularly. Cardiopulmonary or joint diseases may diminish the efficiency of this therapy.
