How do people with Parkinson's Move

The exercise methods suitable for Parkinson's disease patients mainly include aerobic exercise to enhance cardiorespiratory endurance, resistance exercise or strength training to increase muscle strength, and stretching exercise to improve joint mobility.

1. Aerobic exercise

Studies have shown that aerobic exercise helps to improve the cardiorespiratory endurance of people with Parkinson's disease and improve the physical condition of people with Parkinson's disease.

Aerobic exercise includes the following three categories: 1. Aerobic exercise related to recreation, sports and leisure. 2. Aerobic activity in daily life, which includes physical activity related to work and home. 3. Traditional Chinese fitness techniques, such as Tai Chi, Five Poultry, eight sections of brocade, etc.

2. Resistance exercise

Resistance exercise refers to the active or passive movement of the major muscle groups of the body to increase muscle strength and flexibility without causing excessive fatigue.

This type of exercise includes resistance exercises using exercise equipment (such as barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, pullers, resistance bands, etc.), as well as sit-ups, push-ups, and pull-ups without exercise equipment.

3. Stretch

Stretching exercises in people with Parkinson's disease can stretch muscles and ligaments and improve balance and coordination. There are two kinds of motion: static and dynamic.

In static stretching, patients with Parkinson's disease can use appropriate stretching movements to stretch a specific muscle, such as shoulder presses and abductive stretches (shoulder muscles), seated forward bends (lumbar muscles), seated leg presses and straight knee splits (leg muscles).

In dynamic stretching, patients with Parkinson's disease can choose the appropriate action and repeat the active stretching of specific muscles.
