A systematic review of exercise intervention reporting quality and dose in studies of intermittent claudication (2022)
Journal Article
Ibeggazene, S., Pymer, S., Birkett, S. T., Caldow, E., & Harwood, A. E. (in press). A systematic review of exercise intervention reporting quality and dose in studies of intermittent claudication. Vascular, https://doi.org/10.1177/17085381211070700

Background: Exercise therapy is an important treatment option for people with intermittent claudication (IC). Appropriate reporting of exercise interventions in populations with IC within randomised controlled trials (RCTs) is important to ensure tha...

A Systematic Review of Exercise Prescription in Patients with Intermittent Claudication: Does Pain Matter? (2021)
Journal Article
Seed, S., Harwood, A., Sinclair, J., Pymer, S., Caldow, E., Ingle, L., …Birkett, S. (in press). A Systematic Review of Exercise Prescription in Patients with Intermittent Claudication: Does Pain Matter?. Annals of vascular surgery, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.avsg.2021.06.025

Background: Current guidelines for intermittent claudication advocate exercise at moderate to maximal claudication pain. However, adherence rates to supervised exercise programmes (SEP) remain poor and claudication pain is a contributing factor. Limi...

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is caused by atherosclerotic narrowing of the arteries supplying the lower limbs often resulting in intermittent claudication, evident as pain or cramping while walking. Supervised exercise training elicits clinically... Read More about Exercise training for intermittent claudication: A narrative review and summary of guidelines for practitioners.

A systematic review of high-intensity interval training as an exercise intervention for intermittent claudication (2019)
Journal Article
Pymer, S., Palmer, J., Harwood, A. E., Ingle, L., Smith, G. E., & Chetter, I. C. (2019). A systematic review of high-intensity interval training as an exercise intervention for intermittent claudication. Journal of vascular surgery, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvs.2019.03.050

Background Intermittent claudication (IC) is the most common symptom of peripheral arterial disease, which significantly affects walking ability, functional capacity and quality of life. Supervised exercise programs (SEP) are recommended as first-lin... Read More about A systematic review of high-intensity interval training as an exercise intervention for intermittent claudication.
