Power training shows promise for Parkinson's slowness

This study looked at whether a special exercise program focusing on muscle power (moving quickly) could help people with Parkinson's disease who have slow movements (bradykinesia). Twenty-two adults with Parkinson's were split into two groups: one did standard exercises, and the other did the same exercises but focused on speed. The program lasted 12 weeks, with sessions twice a week. Researchers measured movement, strength, and balance before, during, and after the training to see if power training made a difference.
