Full study name & original research details

Official study title

Effect of resistance training performed alone or associated with functional training on cardiovascular function and autonomic modulation in elderly patients with Parkinson Disease.

Short title used by the registry

Influence of strength training performed alone or associated with functional training on the cardiovascular system of elderly patients with Parkinson Disease.

Original description

Intervention: Groups - Patients with Pakinson will be randomized to: control (n=15), resistance training (n=15)and resistance training associated with functional training(n=15). Subjects without Parkinson will participate in the Control intervention (n=15). Control: no training protocol. Resistance training: resistance exercise, 2 sessions / week, 7 exercises, 2-4 sets of 12 to 6 repetition maximum. Resistance training associated with Functional training: the same training with equipments that promote instability.;other;F01.145.632 Primary outcome: Improvement of autonomic cardiovascular modulation assessed by spectral analysis of heart rate and blood pressure variabilities obtained at rest and in response to autonomic stimuli. Secondary outcome: Improvement of cardiovacular function assessed by the measurement of blood pressure (auscultatory and ambulatory), cardiac output (CO2 rebreathing)and heart hate (ECG).;Increase in maximal strength assessed by one repetition maximum test.
