The Effect of Aquatic High-Intensity Interval Training on Balance, Physical Function, and Sarcopenia in Patients With Parkinson's Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial Protocol
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 6 Jul 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This randomized, single-center, parallel-group superiority trial will evaluate the effect of an 8-week aquatic High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) program on balance, physical function, and sarcopenia-related outcomes in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). The intervention aims to deliver Tabata-style aquatic HIIT (3 sessions/week) in a therapeutic pool to determine adherence and preliminary efficacy compared with standard care (no structured exercise program).
