Brief Summary

This is a prospective study. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of exercise retraining on cardiorespiratory parameters, postural balance, sociopsychological variables, and cognitive function in subjects with Parkinson's disease.

There will be two measurement sessions, one pre-intervention and one post-intervention (measuring cardiorespiratory parameters, evaluating dynamic and static postural balance, and assessing cognitive function).

Detailed Description

this is a 12-week prospective study with the theme that I wish to develop in this context entitled "the effect of exercise retraining on cardiorespiratory parameters, postural balance, sociopsychological variables, and cognitive function in subjects with Parkinson's disease".

There will be two measurement sessions, one pre-intervention and one post-intervention (measuring cardiorespiratory parameters, evaluating dynamic and static postural balance, and assessing cognitive function).

The recruited subjects will be randomly assigned to two groups: a control group and an experimental group. The subjects will be invited to attend the program three times per week.

The control group will engage in an endurance training program, while the experimental group will participate in a combined endurance training and cognitive training program

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Cognitive FunctionThere will be two measurement sessions, one pre-intervention and one post-intervention (After 12 week for each patient)

Cognitive function will be evaluated using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment score (MoCA) .

Cardiorespiratory ParametersThere will be two measurement sessions, one pre-intervention and one post-intervention (After 12 week for each patient)

Cardiorespiratory Parameters will be assessed using the six-minute walk test (6MWT).

Postural BalanceThere will be two measurement sessions, one pre-intervention and one post-intervention (After 12 week for each patient)

Postural balance will be assessed using the Timed Up and Go test (TUG) and stabilometry platform

DepressionThere will be two measurement sessions, one pre-intervention and one post-intervention (After 12 week for each patient)

The depression variable will be assessed through Beck Depression Inventory-II .

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
StrengthThere will be two measurement sessions, one pre-intervention and one post-intervention (After 12 week for each patient)
