Simple home workouts may ease slowness in Parkinson's

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria * ≥50 years old; * Parkinson's disease diagnosed by a neurologista; * classified between stages 1-3 of the modified Hoehn \& Yahr Scale; * present bradykinesia identified by items 3.8 (Leg Agility) and/or 3.14 (Global Spontaneity of Movement - Body Bradykinesia) of the motor examination of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) with a minimum score of 1 out of 4 points in at least one of the items; * taking antiparkinsonian medication, and who have been medically stable * are classified as inactive or insufficiently active; have ability to walk independently without assistive devices; and have written medical permission to allow them to participate in the study. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention classification will be used to determine if an individual is inactive or insufficiently active. Participants will be asked about the exercises they performed most often over the last 4 weeks, including their frequency and duration. Individuals who report that they have performed physical exercise over the last month at least five times per week for more than 30 min at a moderate intensity or at least three times per week for at least 20 min at a vigorous intensity will be classified as having moderate or vigorous exercise levels, respectively. Individuals who report not having practiced any exercise over the last month will be classified as inactive. Those who report doing physical exercise over the last month that is not classified as vigorous or moderate intensity will be classified as insufficiently active. Exclusion Criteria: * cognitive impairments as determined by cutoff scores (in points) of the Mini-Mental Status Examination according to education level reference; * any other neurological, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, or respiratory disorders that could affect their ability to perform the tests; * used deep brain stimulation (DBS); * no access to the internet; * who do not have a caregiver or family member who can assist during the intervention sessions
