      ust 1 to 2 hours of moderate-to-vigorous exercise twice a week appears to slow disease progression and cognitive decline in patients with early Parkinson's disease (PD), new research shows. Investigators followed over 200 patients with early stage PD for up to 6 years, assessing exercise levels at baseline and throughout the study period. They found those who engaged in 4 hours of moderate-to-vigorous exercise per week had a slower decline in postural and gait stability and processing speed 5 years later versus their peers with lower exercise levels.

        @taposh The maintenance of regular physical activity levels and exercise habits is the critical part to improve the disease course of PD over 5 years; in other words, regular physical activity and exercise habits, even in small doses, can make a difference when maintained
