Sponsor's own description
This study will be looking at the effects that instability resistance training and aerobic training, individually, have on the improvement of various motor and cognitive impairments present in individuals with Parkinson' disease. There will be 25-30 participants in this study (all of whom have Parkinson's disease). Once passing the eligibility criteria, participants will complete as series of baseline/pre-tests and then be randomly assigned to either the aerobic training group or the instability training group, where they will participate in every training session that occurs in the next 8 consecutive weeks. There will be 3 training sessions a week occurring on non-consecutive days (ex. Monday, Wednesday, Friday) for both training groups (3 aerobic training sessions, 3 instability resistance training sessions). Once the 8 week training intervention has been completed, a series of post-tests will occur exactly once week after (same tests used as in the pre-tests)
