Summary

Compare periodized (cyclic) resistance training with and without motor training specific to activities of daily living.

Detailed description

This study will look at how well two different daily undulating training programs (hypertrophy-strength-power training, versus strength-power-functional training) improve participants' physical functions. All testing procedures will take place at the Max Orovitz Laboratory on the Coral Gables campus. This study will involve a 1-week baseline testing phase, a 2-week familiarization phase, a 9-week intervention phase, and a 1-week post-testing window where subjects must report to the lab for 2 sessions.

Conditions

• Parkinson Disease
• Weight-Lifting Exercise Program

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Periodized training with motor practice	Exercises at 75-80% of the subject's maximum for strength exercise using contractions with 2 second concentric and 3 second eccentric for the strength day. 30-80% of subjects' maximal strength for the power day with high-speed concentric and 2 second eccentric contractions, and exercises that simulate activities of daily living for the motor practice day. All resistance-training will be performed on Keiser air-driven machines. Subjects will perform 10 exercises targeting all major muscle groups. The training will last for 12 consecutive weeks, for a total of 36 visits. Each visit will be approximately 60 minutes long and will consist of 5 minutes warm-up, 50 minutes of training and five minutes of cool-down.
OTHER	Simple Periodized Training	Exercises at 75-80% of the subject's maximum for strength using contractions with 2 second concentric and 3 second eccentric for the strength day. 30-80% of subjects' maximal strength for the power day, with high speed concentric and 2 second eccentric contractions, and for hypertrophy day at 60-75% of subjects' maximum strength. All resistance-training will be performed on Keiser air-driven machines. Subjects will perform 10 exercises targeting all major muscle groups. The training will last for 12 consecutive weeks, for a total of 36 visits. Each visit will be approximately 60 minutes long and will consist of 5 minutes exercise using contractions warm-up, 50 minutes of training and five minutes of cool-down.
