Physical exercise and Parkinson’s disease: influence on symptoms, disease course and prevention
@inproceedings{Grazina2013PhysicalEA, title={Physical exercise and Parkinson’s disease: influence on symptoms, disease course and prevention}, author={Rita Grazina and Jo{\~a}o Massano}, booktitle={Reviews in the neurosciences}, year={2013} }
Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common, disabling, neurodegenerative condition, and the disease prevalence is expected to increase worldwide in the next few decades. Symptomatic therapy remains unsatisfactory, and greatly needed neuroprotective therapies have not been successfully developed so far. Physical exercise (PE) has been associated with a lower risk of developing a neurodegenerative disease. The literature has been searched, and results have been systematized and interpreted…

The hypothesis that physical activity lowers the risk of Parkinson’s disease is not supported, as the number of patients with Parkinson's disease in this study was not large, statistical power may have been limited and further large studies are needed to provide additional data.
