Abstrakt: According to Fontaine's classification, intermittent claudication is a symptom of the 2nd stage of peripheral arterial occlusive disease. Intermittent claudication is described as muscle pain that occurs during walking. Patients experiencing it observe major reduction of exercise tolerance. Rehabilitation of patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease uses many different training programs which lead to extension of intermittent claudication distance. Respiratory training is one of them and it is the training of the respiratory muscles that improves their endurance, force, speed, coordination, and elasticity. Respiration therapy causes delayed metaboreflex, which in turn the blood flow in lower limbs increases. We present a case of a patient who underwent percutaneous balloon angioplasty of iliac artery and then conducted respiratory training by means of Spirotiger what resulted in further increase of claudication distance.
