Abstract

Introduction: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative pathology that presents clinical manifestations, including involuntary tremors, joint stiffness and decline in muscle strength. PD is commonly associated with the death of dopaminergic neurons in the region of the basal ganglia, which are responsible for controlling motor activities. Treatment consists of medications, however, non-pharmacological tools such as supervised physical exercise are widely recommended.

Objective: To summarize the impacts of high-intensity aerobic and resistance training protocols on the functional capacity of PD patients.

Methods: Four databases [PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Science Direct. After applying the eligibility criteria, the articles were independently selected by peer reviewers.

Results and Discussion: A total of 4,745 studies were identified by searching the databases, but only 17 met the eligibility criteria. Finally, 17 studies were included in this systematic review. Information was extracted about the study (author and year), characteristics of the sample (age, gender, sample size), information about the type of physical exercise, duration of the protocol, description of the exercise: warm-up; frequency; volume, in addition to extracting outcomes related to functional capacity (motor and non-motor aspects). Both training modalities (HIA and HIRT) can improve functional capacity variables in PD patients. We emphasize that those training modalities can act synergistically in the promotion of a better quality of life/health of these patients.

Conclusion: Therefore, both modalities were able to improve non-motor and motor components (muscle strength, power, balance) related to functional capacity in PD patients.
