Brief summary
Introduction: the peripheral obstructive arterial disease is an condition that affects around 15% of the world population interfering in muscle strength, life quality and functional capacity of patients.
Detailed description
Study aim: to assess three methods of physical training (strength training, aerobic training and electrical stimulation training) in muscle strength, functional capacity and life quality of patients with peripheral obstructive arterial disease
