“…In addition to the identification of an appropriate intensity, the frequency (i.e., number of sessions per week) of exercise remains an important consideration. Lavier and associates compared a 7-week, moderately intense, aerobic exercise training program, performed either three times per week or five times per week, on physical performance in an animal model of peripheral artery disease (PAD) [ 5 ]. Interestingly, mice with PAD had similar improvements in endurance exercise capacity (i.e., total distance, duration, and speed) on a treadmill test to exhaustion, regardless of whether they exercised three or five times per week.…”
