Methodology of exercise resources development for professionals providing services for people with Parkinson's: a technical report.

The complexity of motor and non-motor symptoms seen in Parkinson's, with their variability and progressive nature, have a significant and potentially detrimental effect on mobility and subsequent quality of life for those with the condition. A considerable body of evidence now exists advocating the positive value of physical activity and exercise on both the motor and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's, whilst limiting the impact and effects of the secondary complications. The literature is signposting to early adoption of higher intensity exercise, with reported benefits at a neurophysiological level, and a potential to influence a diminution in the rate of progression of the condition.
