[Effect of physical training on blood flow properties in patients with intermittent claudication]
Abstract:
Abnormal blood flow in patients with intermittent claudication can be normalized by physical training. We found a decrease in blood viscosity with a decrease in the erythrocyte-aggregation tendency and significant simultaneous improvement in erythrocyte filtrability. Improvement in these haemorheological properties led to a significant increase in physical performance after training. This positive result can be obtained by regular physical training; the application of rheologically effective medicaments is not necessary.

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
