Plain-Language Summary
Researchers at the University of Aarhus are testing whether high-intensity exercise can reduce the persistent fatigue many people with Parkinson's face. Participants do either a high-intensity aerobic program to boost cardiovascular fitness and endurance, or a high-intensity resistance program to build muscle strength so everyday tasks use less energy; both approaches aim to raise overall energy capacity and physical resilience. The trial is enrolling people 40 or older with idiopathic Parkinson's who have been on stable medication for six months, are at Hoehn and Yahr stage 3 or lower, and can travel to sessions, while excluding those already doing high-intensity exercise more than twice weekly or with major medical issues, cognitive problems, depression, or alcohol abuse.
