Summary

This study is designed to examine the added benefits of weight loss to an exercise program in older obese Veterans with peripheral arterial disease. The investigators want to determine if weight loss in addition to exercise will 1) improve walking ability to a greater extent than exercise alone and 2) determine the underlying reasons why walking ability improves by measuring blood flow and the amount of muscle in the leg muscles.

Conditions

  • Peripheral Arterial Disease

Interventions

OTHER

Exercise

Individuals will be asked to walk 3 times a week on a treadmill (initially starting at 15 minutes and progressing up to 40 minutes) and participate in a short weight training program focused on increasing strength in the legs.

OTHER
