Summary

This randomized, single-center, parallel-group superiority trial will evaluate the effect of an 8-week aquatic High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) program on balance, physical function, and sarcopenia-related outcomes in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). The intervention aims to deliver Tabata-style aquatic HIIT (3 sessions/week) in a therapeutic pool to determine adherence and preliminary efficacy compared with standard care (no structured exercise program).

Conditions

  • Parkinson Disease

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Aquatic HIIT with adherence/support package

The participants in the behavioral component will receive the same supervised aquatic HIIT program described above plus structured behavioral/support measures to maximize adherence and safety. These include: an initial individual education session explaining benefits/risks and protocol; supervised real-time feedback during each session from exercise specialists; flexible scheduling options to accommodate participants; weekly review of attendance and brief motivational follow-up (phone call or in-person) for participants with missed sessions; individualized adjustments to intensity/duration based on participant feedback and safety; and documentation of reasons for non-attendance. All behavioral/support activities are delivered by trained research staff and exercise physiologists and are recorded in session logs. (These measures are drawn from the protocol's adherence and retention strategies.)
