Article Synopsis
- Various exercise types, especially high-intensity training in community-based boxing programs, can slow Parkinson's disease progression and enhance physical function for people with Parkinson's disease (PWP).
- A study involved seven PWP participants who engaged in a multimodal boxing program, aiming to maintain a heart rate of 70-85% of their age-predicted maximum and included assessments before and after the program.
- Results showed significant improvements in balance and functional strength, indicating that high-intensity exercise in such programs is feasible and beneficial for PWP.
