About this trial
The investigators will explore the impact of hand cycling, on hand function in people with Parkinson's Disease (PD). The study will compare the effects of two different hand cycling approaches-steady-state and interval efforts-on improving hand dexterity in people with PD. Conducted as a clinical trial, it aims to understand if a single session of hand cycling can temporarily enhance hand function and if the nature of the exercise influences the benefit.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Adults over 19 with a clinical diagnosis of PD.
Disqualifiers
Medical contraindication to aerobic exercise, such as unstable cardiovascular disease, or physical disability that precludes arm exercise.
Individuals will be excluded if, upon screening with the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP) Get Active Questionnaire and International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF) a need for further evaluation before exercise is identified
Trial population
Adults with Parkinson Disease that are medically fit to perform a brief session of aerobic exercise.

Treatments tested in this trial
Exercise Intervention
BehavioralThe exercise session is a fitness test using a hand bike, and you will be randomly assigned to one of two exercise sessions. The fitness test and exercise sessions are short (less than 10 minutes).
Treatment groups
20 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groupsGroup A: Interval1 intervention
Group B: Steady State1 intervention
