High-intensity Interval Circuit Training in People With Parkinson Disease
Comparison of High-intensity Interval Circuit Training With Upper Extremity and Lower Extremity Training Versus Lower Extremity Training Alone in People With Parkinson Disease
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 27 Mar 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of the study is to compare different types of high intensity circuit exercises over an 8-class training series in people with Parkinson disease. The main question it aims to answer is: -Does including arm and hand exercises with leg exercises improve reaction time, balance, functional measures, gait speed and quality of life? This group will be compared to a group that only does leg exercises. Participants will be asked to participate in 8 high intensity circuit exercise classes.
