Exercise and Tai Chi: Effective Ways to Slow Parkinson's Disease Progression
TL;DR
Researchers at Sacramento State are conducting a study to determine if exercise can slow the progression of Parkinson's disease. Led by Dr. Gwénaëlle Begue and Dr. Matt J.N. Brown, the study involves more than 20 participants who exercise both at home and in person at the Human Performance Research Laboratory. The goal is to find a level of exercise that can potentially slow or stop the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, offering hope for patients like Tony Cepeda, who experiences reduced symptoms when he works out.
