Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is usually accompanied by various micro and macro vascular complications. Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is one of the major complications of diabetes which is accountable for morbidity and mortality throughout the world. The first line of treatment in these individuals is life style modification and exercise. There is a dearth of literature on effect of supervised exercise program in PAD with T2DM on quality of life, walking impairment, change in Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) values. So, we conducted a systematic review to explore the available literature on supervised exercise program in PAD with T2DM. Methods: We conducted a systematic review (PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL and Cochrane) to summarise the evidence on a supervised exercise program in PAD with T2DM. Randomised and nonrandomised studies were included in the review. Results: Three studies met the inclusion criteria. The outcomes taken into accounts by the studies were the quality of life, walking impairment questionnaire, Ankle brachial index. Neither of the studies matched in their supervised exercise program nor in their outcome. Conclusion: In conclusion, the data evaluating the supervised exercise program in PAD with T2DM is inadequate to determine its effect on this population. Future large-scale studies can be conducted on both subjective and objective outcomes of PAD with T2DM to have a better understanding of the condition and for a universally acceptable exercise program for these individuals which the healthcare practitioners can use in their practice.

Background/Aims Peripheral arterial disease is common among those aged 60 years or above and can cause debilitating intermittent claudication. This impacts quality of life and is a marker for increased morbidity and mortality, mainly from cardiovascular disease. Access to recommended exercise programmes for people with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease is poor in most areas of the UK. This study aimed to evaluate the benefits of expanding an established cardiac rehabilitation service to accommodate supervised exercise for people with peripheral arterial disease Methods The study evaluated 11 participants peripheral arterial disease and intermittent claudication who were referred by the Manchester leg circulation service. Participants underwent the programme involving eight weekly 1.5 hour sessions of supervised exercise and cardiovascular education with support, reassurance and motivation. The participants' blood pressure, walking impairment, quality of life, anxiety and depression were monitored and reviewed. Results Overall, the participants' walking distance, intermittent claudication, quality of life and blood pressure had improved. The participants' overall satisfaction with the programme was excellent. The programme also demonstrated clinical and cost-effectiveness. Conclusions A structured, supervised exercise programme can have considerable benefits for people with peripheral arterial disease, improving their symptoms and quality of life. It may also help to reduce the morbidity and mortality risks associated with inactivity in this patient group.

12055 Background: Patients with potentially curable esophageal cancer are often treated with chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery. This treatment might have a negative impact on physical fitness, fatigue and quality of life (QoL). In patients with other types of cancer, evidence suggests that physical exercise reduces treatment related side effects. We investigated whether a supervised exercise program also beneficially affects QoL, fatigue and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in patients after treatment for esophageal cancer. Methods: The multicenter PERFECT study randomly assigned patients in the first year after esophagectomy to an exercise intervention (EX) or usual care (UC) group. EX patients participated in a 12-week moderate to high intensity aerobic and resistance exercise program supervised by a physiotherapist. UC patients were advised to maintain their physical activity levels. Attendance and compliance with the exercise intervention protocol were retrieved from exercise logs. QoL (primary outcome, EORTC-QLQ-30, range 0-100), fatigue (MFI-20, range 4-20) and CRF (cardiopulmonary exercise testing) were assessed at baseline and after 12 weeks (post-intervention). The outcomes were analyzed as between-group differences using either linear mixed effects models or ANCOVA adjusted for baseline and stratification factors (i.e. sex, time since surgery, center), according to the intention-to-treat principle. Results: A total of 120 patients (age 64±8) were included and randomized to EX (n = 61) or UC (n = 59). Patients in the EX group participated in 96% (IQR:92-100%) of the supervised exercise sessions and compliance with all parts of the exercise program was high ( > 90%). Post-intervention, global QoL was not statistically different between groups, but significant (p < 0.05) beneficial EX effects were found for QoL-Summary scores (between-group difference 3.5, 95% CI 0.2;6.8) and QoL-role functioning (9.4, 1.3;17.5). Physical fatigue wat non-significantly lower in the EX group (-1.2; -2.6;0.1, p = 0.08). CRF was significantly higher (VO2peak (1.8 mL/min/kg, 0.6;3.0) following the EX intervention. Conclusions: Patients were well capable to complete an intensive supervised exercise program after esophageal cancer treatment, which led to small but significant improvements in several aspects of QoL and cardiorespiratory fitness. Our results suggest that supervised exercise is a beneficial addition to routine care of patients with esophageal cancer. Clinical trial information: NTR5045 .

Supervised Exercise Program

To assess whether a supervised exercise program would benefit cancer survivors' perceived psychological well-being over the course of a 6-mo. program, 8 female and 2 male cancer survivors, ages 45 to 69 ( M = 56.2, SD = 8.1) were recruited into the program from a presentation given to a breast-cancer support group and by word of mouth. Activity sessions were two times per week and typically involved treadmill and bicycle ergometer time, plus eight to ten weight-training stations. A quality of life measure was taken at baseline, 3, and 6 mo. Analyses showed a significant increase in quality of life from baseline to 3 mo. and from baseline to 6 mo. Being physically active in a supervised exercise program provided increased perceived benefits in quality of life for these cancer survivors over 6 mo.
