Summary

The study is designed to assess the effects of aerobic exercise on motor learning in Parkinson patients. Specifically, the investigators examine whether a single bout of moderate intensity aerobic exercise, performed immediately before task practice, facilitates the acquisition and retention of a motor skill. In a cross-over design, participants will be randomly allocated to either the intervention group (aerobic exercise before motor learning) or control group (rest before motor learning).

Conditions

  • Parkinson Disease

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

aerobic exercise

Single-bout of moderate intensity aerobic exercise on a cycle ergometer before motor learning

BEHAVIORAL

rest

Seated rest before motor learning

BEHAVIORAL

motor learning

Motor learning task on a stability platform (Stabilometer). Participants try to keep the tiltable platform in an horizontal position.
