Velocity-Loss Training and Parkinson's Disease
Sponsor: University of Miami
Summary
This study will compare the effects of velocity-loss resistance training at 10% and 30% velocity loss thresholds on measures of muscle strength and power and tests of daily performance in older adults with Parkinson's disease.

Interventions
10% Velocity-Loss Threshold Resistance Training
Participants will receive a total of twenty-four 45-minutes in-person training sessions at 10% velocity-loss threshold, 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 four upper-body exercises and 2 lower-body exercises.
30% Velocity-Loss Threshold Resistance Training
Participants will receive a total of twenty-four 45-minutes in-person training sessions at 30% velocity-loss threshold, 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 four upper-body exercises and 2 lower-body exercises.
