The Interplay between Genetics and Aerobic Exercise to Slow Parkinson's disease (GEARS) Trial

US National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke grant open #nih-5R01NS132437-03

Summary

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Despite advances in pharmaceutical and surgical approaches to the treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD), an effective disease modifying treatment remains elusive. A growing body of evidence supports the notion that high intensity aerobic exercise, when delivered in a highly supervised, well-controlled laboratory setting, improves PD symptomology. Despite community exercise being recommended by the American Physical Therapy Association, high intensity aerobic exercise performed in a community-setting is not supported by third party payors and therefore not delivered by
