Thanks Nienke, such exciting research going on in exercise and Parkinson’s!
-
Thanks Nienke for a clear and logical presentation. I did not pick up an email contact from the presentation. Is that possible? Harley

What exactly is aquatic training? Is it swimming, or other water activities as well?
-
This would be exercise performed in the water. Not necessarily swimming, more like aqua-aerobics but with a tailored rehab focus.

Thank you, this was good to hear the reinforcement about exercise being medicine and especially for Parkinson’s.

I’m curious about the mind -body exercise mentioned here – possibly tai chi? Or Yoga?

1: Has anyone looked at the post (intensive) training phase. Do participants who return to a sedentary lifestyle decline at a quicker/slower/same rate as the control subjects did during the experiment phase.
2: Is your pre-test exercise regime taken into account somehow in tests e.g. the subject who already does an ample amount of exercise beforehand would probably not react pd-wise as much as someone who led a sedentary life before the testing period

Shane, Frazzitta and colleagues have explored your first question with an intensive exercise program delivered for a month followed by 11 months of usual care. Results at the end of the 12 months show retention of motor improvements and a decrease in the increase of levadopa usage. Beyond this I’m not sure.
