Purpose Of Review: To summarize evidence regarding exercise treatments for lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD).
Recent Findings: Supervised walking exercise is recommended by practice guidelines for PAD. Supervised treadmill exercise improves treadmill walking distance by approximately 180 m and 6-min walk distance by 30-35 m, compared to control. The Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services covers 12 weeks of supervised exercise, but most people with PAD do not participate. Home-based walking exercise may be more convenient and accessible than supervised exercise. In randomized clinical trials, home-based walking exercise interventions incorporating behavioral methods, such as accountability to a coach, goal-setting, and self-monitoring, improved 6-min walk distance by 40-54 m, compared to control. Arm and leg ergometry also improved walking endurance for people with PAD, but efficacy compared to walking exercise remains unclear. Walking exercise is first-line therapy for PAD-related walking impairment and can be effective in either a supervised or a structured home-based setting.

Essonne, French Military Biomedical Research, IRBA, Brétigny-sur-Orge 91220, France.
Background: Military personnel are exposed to a high level of operational stress that degrades their psychophysiological and cognitive performance and could impact the mission. Commando training is a unique opportunity to assess psychological, physiological, and cognitive performance in an ecological setting.
Methods: Psychological, physiological, and cognitive performance were evaluated at baseline, and before and after a 1-week commando training course consisting of exercises and night walks.

Exercise and rehabilitation interventions are essential for health restoration, yet reviews on related clinical trials remain limited despite increasing research interest. This study analyzed the characteristics, designs, sample sizes, and outcome variables of clinical trials registered with the Clinical Research Information Service in South Korea, focusing on exercise and rehabilitation interventions. A systematic search using "exercise" and "rehabilitation" identified 1,089 trials registered up to June 9, 2024, with 470 meeting the inclusion criteria.
