    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.

Tracker

Tracker

The tracker is designed to help you track the amount of time you spend in scheduled exercise each day. Scheduled exercise is activity you have prioritised in your day for health and to help slow your Parkinson’s down. This might include PD Warrior exercise, fast walking, golfing, going to the gym etc. It does not include incidental activity such as housework & gardening (although we hope this increases too). The aim of the tracker is to help you build an exercise habit and to keep you accountable, so try and enter something each day.
At the end of the 10 Week Challenge you can download and review your overall performance.
