However, these programmes are underused. Alternative delivery models may be able to expand treatment coverage. The objective of this study was to compare a home-based exercise programme (HBEP) and a centre-based exercise (CBE) in terms of their effects on functional capacity, peripheral muscle oxygenation and quality of life in individuals with PAD.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods and analysis<\/jats:title><jats:p>This single-blind, parallel randomised clinical trial will consist of two groups: HBEP and CBE. A qualitative analysis will be carried out to investigate acceptability and satisfaction. The primary outcome will be functional capacity, assessed by the incremental shuttle walk test. Secondary outcomes will include functional capacity, assessed by a treadmill walking test; peripheral muscle oxygenation and quality of life; and self-reported functional impairment, risk factors, morbidity, level of physical activity, adherence, acceptability and satisfaction. The intervention protocols will consist of 12 weeks of intermittent walking until claudication symptoms, three times a week. Participants randomly assigned to the CBE group will participate in supervised face-to-face sessions. The HBEP group will perform exercises at home with remote supervision, monitored by a pedometer and heart rate monitor, and subjective perception of effort during each session will be recorded by participants in a training diary; follow-up will be conducted by telephone calls. Statistical analyses will follow the intention-to-treat principle. Participants allocated to the HBEP group will be interviewed about their experience of remote treatment using a qualitative approach.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Ethics and dissemination<\/jats:title><jats:p>Ethics approval was obtained from the Ethics Committee of the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais. The results will be disseminated in a peer-reviewed journal and presented at international congresses. This research has the potential to improve the care of people with PAD because if home-based rehabilitation demonstrates effectiveness, it could be considered an alternative or support resource to the usual centre-based treatment models, expanding access, coverage and participation in vascular physiotherapy<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Trial
