Interval Training and Parkinson's Disease

The Comparative Impacts of High-Intensity Interval Training and Power Training on Heart Rate Variability, Gait, and Functional Performance in Patients With Parkinson's Disease

This research is designed to compare the impact of high-intensity interval training and high-velocity circuit resistance training on heart rate variability, gait, and functional performance in patients with Parkinsons disease.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Confirmed diagnosis of Parkinson's disease
2. Between the ages of 30-90 years of age;
3. Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale ≤2, which will be provided by the participant's medical provider and be evaluated within 1 year of the study's inception.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Uncontrolled cardiovascular disease that prevents participation in a training program
2. Documented HIV infection or another immunodeficiency syndrome
3. Other neuromuscular diseases besides Parkinson's disease
4. Current musculoskeletal injury that prevents exercise.
5. Having a pacemaker or other internal medical devices
