Summary

The study is designed to assess the effects of cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise on motor skill learning in Parkinson patients. Specifically, the investigators examine whether a single bout of moderate-intense aerobic exercise, performed immediately following motor skill practice, facilitates motor memory consolidation. In this experimental trial, participants will be randomly allocated to either an intervention group (motor skill practice + aerobic exercise) or control group (motor skill practice + seated rest).

Conditions

  • Parkinson Disease

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

aerobic exercise

Single-bout of moderate intensity aerobic exercise on a cycle ergometer following motor skill practice

BEHAVIORAL

rest

Seated rest following motor skill practice

BEHAVIORAL

motor learning

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