Can Exercise Slow Parkinson's Disease Progression?

Parkinson's disease is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease behind Alzheimer's disease. Nearly one million people have Parkinson's disease in the U.S., and 60,000 are newly diagnosed yearly. "The question we want to answer is whether there is a benefit to exercising at the higher intensity in terms of slowing down the rate at which (Parkinson's) disease progresses. No drug has been shown to slow down the rate at which the disease progresses." — Daniel Corcos, PhD Learn more: http://spr.ly/60013i5ut ------------------------------------------ Visit the Feinberg website: https://www.feinberg.northwestern.edu/ Listen to more podcasts: http://spr.ly/60033dxQP SUBSCRIBE: http://spr.ly/60073dxlv TWITTER: http://spr.ly/60003dxmj INSTAGRAM: http://spr.ly/60083dxWi FACEBOOK: http://spr.ly/60063dxW0 LINKEDIN: http://spr.ly/60063dxqG About Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine: Our mission is to impact the practice of medicine through discovery and education to improve human health.
