Patients with peripheral arterial disease have low levels of physical activity and high cardiovascular risk. Although peripheral arterial disease has a similar prevalence between men and women, studies have shown that the consequences of the disease are extremely different between the sexes. Studies show that women have lower functional capacity and lower levels of physical activity than men. However, the sexes are different from the barriers to the practice of physical activity and cardiovascular health indicators have not yet been studied. Objective: To compare the barriers to the practice of physical activity, cardiovascular function and arterial rigidity among men and women with peripheral arterial disease. Material and Method: this is a descriptive epidemiological study. The study included 267 patients with peripheral arterial disease and symptoms of intermittent claudication divided into two studies, 102 patients in the first study and 167 patients in the second study. The patients were submitted to the evaluation of physical activity level and barriers to the practice of physical activity, as well as cardiovascular health indicators (auscultatory arterial pressure, autonomic cardiovascular modulation, and arterial stiffness). Results: Women had a higher rate of increase by 34% compared to men who presented 29%, women had a rate of increase corrected by 75 beats per minute 31%, men had 25%. Women with peripheral arterial disease had lower levels of physical activity with moderate and vigorous intensity and reported more frequently than the following barriers to physical activity: lack of companionship to practice physical activity, fear of physical activity aggravate the disease, no place to sit when pain is felt and no place to practice physical activity. Conclusion: Regarding the cardiovascular variables, women present higher reflected wave indicators than men, as well as presented more barriers to physical activity compared to men.
