RESPONSE-2-PAD to Reduce Sedentary Time in Peripheral Arterial Disease Patients

The RESPONSE-2-PAD program will undergo evaluation through a pilot study includes 50 patients living with peripheral arterial disease. Participants will take part in an initial assessment which will measure their sedentary time/physical activity using activPAL and their six-minute walking distance. They will then take part in a 12-week tailored, coaching-based intervention delivered remotely. The intervention involves the use of an activity tracker (sedentary reminder) and an online structured education program coupled with coaching calls that review sedentary time and activity goals weekly. At 12-weeks all participants will be invited to a follow up assessment. Participants will also be invited to take part in a semi-structured interview to explore their views and opinions of the program and its acceptability. At six months all patients will be invited for a final follow-up measurements.
