Support + High Intensity Functional Training for Parkinson's

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Parkinson Disease

In brief

Parkinson's is the fastest growing neurological disorder in the world. With more people living with Parkinson's than ever before, there is an urgent need for interventions that improve health and reduce disability. High intensity exercise has shown to be superior to other forms of exercise in that it can slow symptom progression. High intensity exercise also reduces the risk of cardiovascular events. This is pertinent considering one in five people with Parkinson's will die from cardiovascular disease. While Parkinson's specific exercise programs across the U.S. continue to increase, there are still many communities with limited to no access, including Fort Smith, Arkansas. Here, there are no expert level centers within 100 miles and not a single community-based exercise program. This research will offer a community and group-based exercise program for participants with Parkinson's and their care partners.
