Effect of Physical Rehabilitation in Patients With Parkinson's Disease

Effect of Physical Rehabilitation on Cardiorespiratory Parameters, Postural Balance and Sociopsychological and Cognitive Variables in Patients With Parkinson's Disease

This is a prospective study. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of exercise retraining on cardiorespiratory parameters, postural balance, sociopsychological variables, and cognitive function in subjects with Parkinson's disease.

There will be two measurement sessions, one pre-intervention and one post-intervention (measuring cardiorespiratory parameters, evaluating dynamic and static postural balance, and assessing cognitive function).

this is a 12-week prospective study with the theme that I wish to develop in this context entitled "the effect of exercise retraining on cardiorespiratory parameters, postural balance, sociopsychological variables, and cognitive function in subjects with Parkinson's disease".

There will be two measurement sessions, one pre-intervention and one post-intervention (measuring cardiorespiratory parameters, evaluating dynamic and static postural balance, and assessing cognitive function).

The recruited subjects will be randomly assigned to two groups: a control group and an experimental group. The subjects will be invited to attend the program three times per week.

The control group will engage in an endurance training program, while the experimental group will participate in a combined endurance training and cognitive training program
