Summary

This research is designed to compare the impact of high-intensity interval training and high-velocity circuit resistance training on heart rate variability, gait, and functional performance in patients with Parkinsons disease.

Conditions

• Other Disorders of Autonomic Nervous System

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	High-Intensity Interval Training	Participants will receive a total of 20 in-person sessions of 45 minutes duration. Subjects perform high-speed movements with minimal recovery between movements. Hand weight will be used to increase intensity as training progresses.
BEHAVIORAL	High-Velocity Circuit Resistance Training	Participants in this group will perform a total of 20 in-person training sessions using 12 resistance exercises performed in 3 circuits with minimal recovery between exercises.
