Abstract
IN BRIEF: Exercise training is often recommended for patients who have Parkinson's disease. Until the debate about the pathophysiologic cause of impaired movement in parkinsonism is settled, it is difficult to develop a specific exercise treatment for symptoms that include hypokinesia, tremor, and muscular rigidity. Most of the published studies show a benefit of exercise training, and we provide an overview of the most essential studies and present conclusions for a practical approach to exercise training in parkinsonism.
