Importance of physical detraining in functional capacity of individuals with chronic peripheral arterial occlusive disease: a cross-sectional pilot study

Conclusions The present pilot study allows us to conclude that the functional capacity of individuals with PAOD who participated in a physical tra ining program and subsequently underwent detraining was not superior in relation to individuals who did not participate in a physical training program. The results of the present study serve to encourage maintenance of physical exercise, since physical training is no longer effective if detraining o ccurs.
