This trial tests if a muscle stretching device and creatine supplement can help older adults and PAD patients exercise better by improving blood flow and muscle energy. Creatine supplementation has been studied extensively and shown to improve muscle performance and strength in older adults.

Eligibility Criteria

Participant Groups

Group I: Creatine monohydrate Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Creatine Monohydrate will be given at a 5 day loading period (10g/day) followed by a maintenance phase (5 g/day). The objectives of the current trial are to investigate if creatine supplementation plus muscle stretching improves 6-minute walking distance and muscle oxygenation in patients with peripheral artery disease.

Group II: Cellulose Placebo Group 1 Intervention

These participants will consume a fiber supplement in place of creatine monohydrate at a matched dose with muscle stretching.
