Inclusion criteria

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Recruitment rates measured using rate of consenting participants over those invited at 36 months;Acceptability of procedures measured using comparison of attrition rates between groups at 36 months;Suitability of assessment procedures measured using completion rates at 36 months;The acceptability of the lifestyle programme measured using session compliance data at the 3-month follow-up visit;Exercise safety measured using the number and type of adverse events that occur in each group at 36 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Peripheral arterial disease severity measured using the Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) at 3 and 6 months 2. Health-related quality of life measured using the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire at 3 and 6 months 3. CVD event history (since baseline) measured using patient recall of events at 3 and 6 months 4. Functional walking capacity measured using a 6 Minute Walking Test at 3 and 6 months
