EXERT Study

The EXERT (Exercise Training to Reduce Claudication) study will continue to enroll new participants over the next three years and is currently seeking volunteers to participate in a study to increase our understanding of the effects of aerobic arm or treadmill exercise on leg pain, walking capability and quality of life in people with claudication. If you would like to participate, please visit www.EXERTstudy.org or call 612.624.7614 or e-mail exert@umn.edu

It should be noted that the EXERT study is experimental and is not the current standard of treatment for PAD.
