Feasibility and Acceptability of a Physical Activity Behavior Change Intervention for Parkinson's Disease

Completed · Phase 1/Phase 2

Conditions studied: Parkinson's Disease

In brief

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility, in regards to acceptability and implementation, of the Pre-Active PD intervention for increased high intensity goal-directed aerobic exercise engagement in people with early-stage Parkinson's disease (Hoehn and Yahr stage I \& II). In addition, the study aims to explore the effect estimates of the Pre-Active PD intervention on self-efficacy, motivation, stage of behavior change, and physical activity levels in people with early stage Parkinson's disease.
