ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

In peripheral artery disease (PAD) patients, the joint profile of low strength and cardiorespiratory fitness on movement behaviors, specifically physical activity levels and sedentary time, remains unclear.

PURPOSE:

To investigate the joint profiles between cardiorespiratory and neuromuscular fitness and daily physical activity among PAD patients.

METHODS:

Cross-sectional study in a sample of 155 PAD patients. We measured their physical activity level per week using accelerometers, assessed their muscle strength through a sit-to-stand test and cardiorespiratory fitness through a six-minute walk test. Patients were categorized into three groups those with high strength and cardiorespiratory fitness (NC, n = 28), those with at least one component classified as low (1C, n = 88), and those with both components classified as low fitness (2C, n = 39).

RESULTS:

The patients in the 1C and 2C groups spent less time engaged in low-light and moderate activities compared to the NC group (low-light NC 2291 ± 680 minutes/week vs. 1C 1826 ± 649 minutes/week vs. 2C 1885 ± 651 minutes/week, p = .005; moderate NC 2617 ± 796 minutes/week vs. 1C 2071 ± 767 minutes/week vs. 2C 2092 ± 776 minutes/week, p = .005) and the patients in the 2C group spent less time engaged in vigorous activities compared to the NC and 1C groups (NC 155 ± 148 minutes/week vs. 1C 110 ± 110 minutes/week vs. 2C 64 ± 70 minutes/week, p = .003).

CONCLUSION:

PAD patients with low strength and/or cardiorespiratory fitness are more likely to spend less time engaging in low-light and moderate physical activities and patients with low fitness in both components are more likely to spend less time engaging in vigorous physical activity.
