Overview

Parkinson‘s disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease. It is characterized by the progressive deterioration of motor as well as non-motor symptoms, including cognitive dysfunction, disorders of mood and sleep and gastrointenstinal symptoms. Physical activity is a modifiable well-established risk factor for PD and clinical intervention studies with regular exercise undoubtedly point to the beneficial effects of aerobic as well as strength exercise training in patients with PD. Physical training improves 1. motor state, balance and functional capacity of skeletal muscles, thus reducing the risk of falls; 2. physical fitness and general functional capacity of the patient; and 3. energy metabolism, reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes, which often accelerates progression of PD. Moreover, physical activity and physical training improve quality of life by ameliorating both motor and non-motor symptoms, thus slowing down disease progression. Regular physical activity and exercise, based on individualized prescription and performed under the supervision of an experienced physician or exercise physiologist, are recommended as an integral part in the management of a patient with PD.
