Why we are undertaking the research: Peripheral artery disease is a common problem where the blood vessels in the legs are narrowed by fatty deposits. Supervised exercise programmes are recommended to help treat this condition, as they can reduce leg pain and improve fitness. However, not many people are able to access these programmes typically be...

Plain English Summary Why we are undertaking the research: Peripheral artery disease is a common problem where the blood vessels in the leg are narrowed by fatty build-ups. These fatty deposits may restrict blood flow which causes pain during exercise and limits how far people can walk. To assess a patient’s maximal walking distance, clinicians may...

... The full intervention is described elsewhere. 23 Briefly, participants were given a Fitbit Charge 4Ó and a personalized daily step goal, initially based on a 10% increase from baseline levels (determined with an accelerometer). Circuit sessions were completed individually by participants twice per week at home. ...
... Outcomes are detailed in full elsewhere. 23 The primary outcome was feasibility, based on recruitment, attrition, tolerability, and adherence/compliance to the intervention. Adherence to the circuits was established by recording the number of circuit sessions completed, via a self-report exercise diary. ...

... The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability of the Fitbit Charge 4©'s step count function in a laboratory setting, and evaluate agreement in a free-living environment compared to a research grade activity monitor to assess its suitability for use in a clinical research trial. 19 In agreement with previous research (ICC of 0.81), 10 we report 'good' reliability for the Fitbit Charge 4© step count function (ICC of 0.75) on a treadmill at self-selected walking speeds. However, the Fitbit consistently overestimated step count compared to an ActiGraph wGT3X-BT. ...
