What this Trial Is About
Studies have shown that non-contact boxing benefits individuals with Parkinson disease. Yet, the content of such sessions, has not yet been investigated. The following research question has therefore been asked: What is the physical intensity, in terms of both movement quality and quantity, as well as cardiovascular demand, in a group of individuals with Parkinson's disease during a one-hour session of Parkiboks? Though the study is exploratory, the investigators hypothesize to observe increases in cardiovascular activity during the session, as well as a high number of upper-limb repetitions of near maximal range of motion.
