An interventional study of Exercise in PARKINSON DISEASE (Disorder), sponsored by Universidade do Estado do Pará. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 60 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-11-10.
Sponsored by Universidade do Estado do Pará · Not applicable, Interventional, and Supportive care
Patients with Parkinson's disease experience progressive deconditioning of the respiratory muscles, leading to weakness and potential ventilatory impairments. Evidence indicates that physical exercise positively affects these muscles in people with various clinical conditions. This study will evaluate the effects of multicomponent and resistance training on respiratory parameters and physical and functional capacities in individuals with Parkinson's disease. A total of 40 patients will be randomly allocated to two groups: 20 individuals in the multicomponent training group and 20 in the resistance training group. Both groups will undergo a three-month intervention with two sessions per week. All participants must continue standard pharmacological treatment for Parkinson's disease. Respiratory parameters will be assessed using respiratory pressure measurement and spirometry. Physical and functional capacities will be assessed using the Rikli and Jones test battery.
4,573 studies on the registry are indexed under Parkinson Disease; 1,086 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 20 is below the median of 40 across 3,353 interventional studies indexed under Parkinson Disease.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Short tests of memory and thinking, each scored out of 30. Lower scores suggest more difficulty; criteria give a range, either to include people with memory problems or to leave them out.

The first group will undergo multicomponent training for three months, with two sessions per week
Other: Exercise
The second group will undergo resistance training for the same period
Other: Exercise
Resistence training
Inspiratory pressure
Respiratory muscle strength will be assessed using a manovacuometer with a range of -300 to +300 cmH2O. Respiratory muscle strength during inspiration will be assessed.
Time frame: three weeks
Forced Vital Capacity
Forced vital capacity, expressed in liters, will be assessed based on the maximum volume of inspired air, which will be measured in liters using a spirometer
Time frame: three weeks
