Figure 3.
Functional capacity parameters obtained during the 6MWT test, handgrip strength test, and sit-to-stand test before (pre) and after the loading and maintenance supplementation period in symptomatic peripheral arterial disease (n = 29; PLA = 15 and Cr = 14). Data are expressed as the median and interquartile range. * Significant difference pre vs. post loading supplementation period (p < 0.05). (A) ICD = initial claudication distance; (B) TWD = total walking distance; (C) sit-to-stand test; (D) handgrip strength test. PLA—placebo group; Cr—creatine group.
