Parkinson Disease and Exercise Snacks

Sponsor: University of British Columbia

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

People with Parkinson's Disease (PD) benefit from exercise, but many face barriers like motor disability, fatigue, and lack of time, leading to reduced activity. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of "exercise snacks," short bursts of vigorous activity that can be done anywhere without equipment or a significant time commitment. These exercise snacks help integrate activity into daily life, making it more accessible for people with PD. The secondary goal is to evaluate the feasibility of this approach through this pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) to inform a larger, future RCT.
