Summary
"This trial is comparing the effects of high-intensity interval training and high-velocity circuit resistance training on heart rate variability, walking, and overall physical function in Parkinson's disease patients."
Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with Parkinson's Disease, specifically those who have issues with their autonomic nervous system. The exact eligibility criteria are not provided, but typically participants should be medically stable to engage in physical training.
What is being tested?
The study compares two exercise approaches: high-intensity interval training (short bursts of intense exercise) and high-velocity circuit resistance training (strength exercises at a fast pace), focusing on their effects on heart rate variability, walking ability, and overall function.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed for the interventions being tested, general risks may include muscle soreness, fatigue, joint stress or injury from physical activity. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout.
