Summary

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive and chronic neurodegenerative disease, which presents signs and symptoms both motor (impaired gait, posture, balance, etc.) and cognitive (memory loss, dementia, etc.), all of which cause disability and assuming a high economic cost. Currently, there are already certain authors who have shown how a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) protocol produces improvements in cognitive and physical performance in healthy adults and in people with multiple sclerosis. However, another modality has been created, such as high-intensity functional training (HIFT), which can benefit different populations, both healthy and pathological, due to the multimodal nature of the exercises. These are prescribed knowing the target group and involve the whole body using universal motor recruitment patterns in multiple planes of movement such as squats. The main hypothesis of the study is that high-intensity functional training (HIFT), at a motor and cognitive level, provides a greater benefit than conventional programs of strength, balance and cognition, on the functionality and cognitive capacity of people with Parkinson's disease.

Interventions

OTHER

Hight intensity functional trainning

Warm-up phase: Low-intensity walking 30-50% MHR combined with dynamic mobility exercises High Intensity Functional Training (HIFT) The raised HIFT intervention proposal is divided into three exercises: 1. Strength exercise of the lower limbs such as Sit to Stand / Stand to sit and elevation of the upper limbs up in a standing position or lateral gait with knee flexion of one limb among many others. 2. Upper limb strength exercises: In a standing position with a medicine ball and in front of the wall, throw the ball against it and catch it o Walk while taking the medicine ball from right to left with smooth rotation of the trunk among many others. 3. Coordination and balance exercises: Go up and down stairs or steps in four steps with arms stretched out in front of you and exercises such as standing, knee flexion and raising the contralateral hand with weights. Cooling phase: Stretching of upper and lower limb muscle groups and head and neck muscles.
