As most of you know, I exercise a great deal. I am also subject in several research studies that are related to cognition, both here in Seattle and the NIH in DC and I'm joining a new one at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. I just finished my third round of testing here in Seattle and was told that I was better this year than last year and better last year than the first year. I know I'm not getting any smarter, so I'll just attribute it all to exercise.

that's what this thread started off as, current, relevent research on humans. you can post whatever you want but take my advice, old animal studies really don't interest anyone after the research has progressed to humans. another hint, when the PEDALING FOR PARKINSON'S thread has 39,000+ views, that probably indicates exercise has been discussed? just giving you some advice if you want your posts to be more than just "quantity". |

We heard from a therapist recently, "Motion is lotion." Good to keep this in mind. Exercise may not produce any long term improvements, or help stabilize balance problems, but we have seen short-term mobility improvements as a result of LSVT BIG exercises, tai chi, stationary bike riding, walking, and other gentle movement exercises. Good physical therapists can help a PD patient become more aware of which body part limitations contribute to falls or difficulty getting up or moving around safely. Awareness and exercise training, with concentration and thought, can help a PD patient feel more normal for at least part of the day. It helps to keep expectations reasonable. Exercise moderately for 1/2 hour or so, and feel ok for about an hour or two. This has been our experience.

i'm just offering my own opinion, noone elses, but i can't remember the last time someone posted anything about an animal exercise study since there have been so many human studies in the last 5 years or so. animal studies do get mentioned here but usually when there are few or no human studies.
