Periodization and Parkinson's Disease
Sponsor: University of Miami
Summary
This study will compare the effects of high-speed power resistance training to periodized training, which includes cycle of hypertrophy, strength and power, on measures of muscle strength and power and tests of daily performance in older adults with Parkinson's disease.
Official title: Comparison of Changes in Neuromuscular and Functional Performance Due to Block Periodization or Traditional Power Training in Persons With Parkinson's Disease.

Interventions
Power Resistance Training
Participants will receive a total of twenty-four 45-minutes in-person training sessions, twice per week using three sets of eight repetitions per set. During training participants will be allowed 1-minute rests between sets. Exercises will include six upper-body exercises and five lower-body exercises.
Periodized Resistance Training
Participants will receive three weeks of hypertrophy training to increase muscle size followed by six weeks of strength training, and then three weeks of power training twice per week for a total of twenty-four 45-minutes in-person training sessions. During training participants will be allowed 1-minute rests between sets. Exercises will include six upper-body exercises and five lower-body exercises.
