摘要

Peripheral arterial occlusive disease is a chronic, progressive condition that usually first manifests as intermittent claudication in the legs. It is defined as ischemia-related muscle pain during exertion, which limits the walking distance. In addition to basic drug therapy and risk-factor management, guideline recommendations include structured walking exercise, which, among other things, can increase walking distance via arterial collateral growth.

In Germany, there are regulatory and organizational frameworks for vascular exercise as part of sports rehabilitation. In reality, however, patient participation and adherence to training often fail for various reasons, such as the often low level of awareness of vascular exercise among patients and physicians. Another problem is the limited availability of local vascular exercise groups and appropriately qualified vascular exercise trainers (instructors).

The training of exercise instructors in sports rehabilitation is carried out by the national sports rehabilitation associations, whereby further development to become an instructor for vascular exercise varies greatly in terms of quality, requirements, and content depending on the association. As representatives of the vascular medical societies DGG and DGA and the medical professional associations DVGS and DGPR, we have therefore developed a uniform and nationally valid training program for vascular exercise trainers that provides high-quality and relevant content in 15 teaching units that meet the requirements of the Federal Working Group for Sports Rehabilitation (BAR) and is offered regularly throughout Germany (including at the annual congresses of the participating professional societies and associations). However, in order for vascular exercise to be billed as sports rehabilitation, basic qualifications must be met, which may vary depending on the rehabilitation provider association.

The developed training program for vascular exercise instructors is presented in the following, including content, organizational details, and basic qualifications.
