Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting approximately one million Americans, characterized by motor symptoms like tremors, muscle rigidity, and difficulties with balance and coordination. While current medications can manage symptoms, they do not halt the disease’s progression.
Reversing Neurodegeneration with High-Intensity Exercise
A groundbreaking study published in the Journal of Neurology reveals that high-intensity exercise might play a role in reversing neurodegeneration in PD. Recent breakthroughs in understanding the underlying mechanisms of PD suggest promising avenues for potential treatments.
