I was surprised that this study didn't include actual symptom relief or some scale of functionality in it's results. A change in the structure of the brain (increased conductivity) sounds fantastic but is it more than that?
 Maybe the article just didn't mention those results? Quote:

I've been pedaling using Jay's protocols since March 2009. Most of my symptoms (except for a sometimes tremor in one arm) disappeared after the first month of cycling beyond the protocols, i.e., 4-6 times per week instead of three. I ride a solo bike either on a trainer or on the road. I've reduced my medication from ReQuipXL 8 mg to 4 mg. and stopped Azilect completely. The key is keeping the cadence between 80-90 rpm and going at cadence for at least 40 minutes (preferably an hour). Speed doesn't matter.

it was a press release, we'll have to wait to read the scientific paper. but i assume there was a corresponding decrease in parkinson's symptoms. this was a radiological symposium, not pd, fwiw. http://www2.rsna.org/timssnet/Media/...get.cfm?id=633 |
