Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the intake of Vitamin D has a positive
effect on walking ability of patients with peripheral artery occlusive disease. Skeletal
muscle fibers change morphology in peripheral artery occlusive disease. In patients with
Vitamin D-deficiency there are also changes of skeletal muscle fibers. The investigators have
the hypothesis that patients with peripheral artery occlusive disease with subsequent changes
of muscle fibers morphology of calf muscles might take profit of the administration of
Vitamin D in combination with training.
