EXERCISE REHABILITATION OF YOUNGER AND OLDER CLAUDICANTS

年龄和运动强度对体能训练的影响 慢性支气管炎患者的跛行、疼痛症状及小腿循环 将检查间歇性跛行。假设(1) 年龄较大的患者(70岁以上)会有更大的疾病 严重程度，跛行疼痛和腿部疼痛的相对改善较大 运动康复4个月后血液循环较年轻 患者(60岁以上)，以及(2)两者的改善 在一个康复计划之后，年龄段将会更多 更高的运动强度(70%的步行能力) 采用低强度(40%步行能力)&GT；的临床意义 在这些预期的发现中，运动康复变得更多 随着患者年龄的增长，对跛行疼痛的治疗有效， 计划应该包括高强度的锻炼，而不是低强度的锻炼 为了更好地改善跛行疼痛和腿部循环， 可以避免疾病进展到更严重的终点。

The effects of age and exercise intensity of physical conditioning on claudication pain symptoms and leg circulation of patients with intermittent claudication will be examined. It is hypothesized that (1) older patients (greater than 70 years of age) will have greater disease severity, and greater relative improvements in claudication pain and leg circulation following 4 months of exercise rehabilitation than younger patients (greater than 60 years of age), and (2) the improvements of both age groups will be greater following a rehabilitation program that uses higher exercise intensity (70% of walking capacity) that a program that uses lower intensity (40% of walking capacity)> The clinical significance of these anticipated findings is the exercise rehabilitation becomes more effective in the treatment of claudication pain as patients age, and a program should consist of exercise at higher rather than lower intensity for greater improvements in claudication pain and leg circulation, which may circumvent disease progression to more serious endpoints.
