Plain-Language Summary
They're testing whether a high-intensity functional training program can improve everyday movement and thinking skills in people with early Parkinson's. HIFT is a supervised exercise routine that mixes strength, cardio, balance, and task-specific movements done at higher intensity to boost muscle power, endurance, balance, and brain plasticity, and it is intended to complement usual Parkinson's medications like levodopa rather than replace them. The trial is looking for adults about 45 to 80 years old with early stage Parkinson's (Hoehn and Yahr I or II) who can walk independently for 10 minutes and already exercise regularly; people who are sedentary, have serious balance or sensory problems, severe cognitive or psychotic disorders, recent surgery, or medical reasons preventing intense exercise are excluded.
