Exercising 2.5 hours per week associated with slower declines in Parkinson's disease patients

(IOS Press) Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive condition that often results in mobility impairments and can lead to decreased health-related quality of life (HRQL) and death. There is evidence that physical activity can delay decline in PD patients. In a study in the Journal of Parkinson's disease, researchers determined that that people who exercised regularly had significantly slower declines in HRQL and mobility over a two-year period.
