The Effect Of Jogging With Initiation Of Heart Rate Reserve On The Patients Of Early Or Middle Stage Of Parkinson’s Disease

Background:Parkinson’s disease is the second common neurodegenerative disorder all over the world. Among the diverse stage of Parkinson’s disease, the quality of patients would be diminished correlating with the progression of motor or non-motor symptoms. To date,there have not been a treatment can make the disease healing. Consulting the variety effects of different treatment,the clinicians turn their attention to the effect of exercise on Parkinson’s disease.Objective:To evaluate the effect of jogging with initiation of heart rate reserve on the motor symptoms and depression.Design:We conducted a single-blind,controlled trail to determined whether jogging with initiation of heart rate reserve could improve the motor symptoms and depression of Parkinson’s disease. We randomly assigned30patients with stage2to3disease on the Hoehn and Yahr staging scale to one of three group:jogging, walking.or control. The patients participated in30-minute exercise session once a day for16weeks. The outcomes included measures of motor scores on the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale, timed up-and-go test, and scores on Self-Rating Depression Scale.Results:The jogging group performed consistently better than the walking and control groups in all outcomes. The difference of UPDRS after the exercise of the jogging group appeared to the most minimal. The measured values of TUG test and SDS scores of the jogging group improved significantly(P<0.05). Conclusions:Jogging with initiation of heart rate reserve appears to improve the motor symptoms,especially the functional mobility and balance ability,and depression in patients with mild-moderate Parkinson’s disease.
