About the research

Patients with Parkinson's disease experience progressive deconditioning of the respiratory muscles, leading to weakness and potential ventilatory impairments. Evidence indicates that physical exercise positively affects these muscles in people with various clinical conditions. This study will evaluate the effects of multicomponent and resistance training on respiratory parameters and physical and functional capacities in individuals with Parkinson's disease. A total of 40 patients will be randomly allocated to two groups: 20 individuals in the multicomponent training group and 20 in the resistance training group. Both groups will undergo a three-month intervention with two sessions per week. All participants must continue standard pharmacological treatment for Parkinson's disease. Respiratory parameters will be assessed using respiratory pressure measurement and spirometry. Physical and functional capacities will be assessed using the Rikli and Jones test battery.
