Velocity-Loss Resistance Training for Parkinson's Disease
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This study will compare the effects of velocity-loss resistance training at 10% and 30% velocity loss thresholds on measures of muscle strength and power and tests of daily performance in older adults with Parkinson's disease.

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?
Interventions
- 10% Velocity-Loss Threshold Resistance Training
- 30% Velocity-Loss Threshold Resistance Training
Trial Overview
The study compares two types of resistance training: one where sets stop after a small drop in speed (10% velocity loss) and another after a larger drop (30% velocity loss), to see which better improves strength and daily function.
