Individuals with IC and matched controls [sex, age \u00b15 years, home &lt; 5 miles] wore an activity monitor (activPAL) and carried a GPS device (AMOD-AGL3080) for 7 days. GPS data categorised walking events as occurring at home (&lt;=50 m from home co-ordinates) or away from home, and indoors (signal to noise ratio &lt;= 212 dB) or outdoors. Number of walking events, walking duration, steps and cadence were compared between groups and each location pair using mixed model ANOVAs. In addition, the locus of activity (distance from home) at which walking was conducted was compared between groups. Participants (n = 56) were mostly male (64%) and aged 54\u201389 years. Individuals with IC spent significantly less time walking and took fewer steps than their matched controls at all locations, including at home. Participants spent more time and took more steps away from home than at home, but were similar when walking indoors and outdoors. The locus of activity was significantly smaller for individuals with IC, suggesting that it is not just physical capacity that influences walking behaviour, and other factors (e.g., social isolation) may play a role.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph20105816","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,15]],"date-time":"2023-05-15T08:28:56Z","timestamp":1684139336000},"page":"5816","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Walking Behaviour of Individuals with Intermittent Claudication Compared to Matched Controls in Different Locations: An Exploratory Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Anna M.
