The Effects of Different Exercise Modalities on Sleep Quality and Architecture in People With Parkinson's Disease

Status: Recruiting
Location: See all (3) locations...
Intervention Type: Behavioral
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

This study will investigate the impact of three common exercise modalities, cardiovascular, resistance, and multimodal (i.e., a combination of the previous two) training, on sleep quality and architecture in persons with Parkinson's disease (PD). Furthermore, the project will investigate whether the potential positive exercise-induced changes in sleep are associated with improvements in different quality of life (QoL)-related aspects. Participants will perform either cardiovascular training (CT), resistance training (RT), multimodal training (MT), or will be allocated to a control condition (i.e., waiting list - CON) for 12 weeks. Training will be performed three times/week. The assessments will be conducted at baseline, post-intervention, and follow-up (i.e. 8 weeks after the intervention) by assessors blinded to the participants' group allocation.

Treatments
Experimental: Cardiovascular training (CT)
Cardiovascular training (CT) will be performed on a recumbent stepper. CT will start at low intensity, and, through a linear progression, will reach vigorous intensity; then, this intensity will be maintained until the end of the training period. Each session will include five minutes of warm-up and cool-down performed at the beginning and at the end of the training, respectively. Furthermore, five minutes of stretching will be performed after the cool-down. CT's sessions will last approximately 45 minutes (30 to 50 minutes) and will be interspersed with 48 hours of recovery.
Experimental: Resistance training (RT)
Resistance training (RT) intensity will be estimated using the percentage of one-maximal repetition (1-RM) defined as the maximal weight liftable for ten maximal repetitions with proper form. The program will include five exercises (leg press, lat machine, leg extension, leg curl, bench press) and will start at high-volume low intensity. RT will follow a periodization to reach high-intensity low-volume at the end of the intervention (week 12). The training sessions will start and end with five-minute of warm-up and cool-down, which will include exercise on a recumbent stepper and stretching, respectively. RT's sessions will last approximately 45 minutes (40 to 50 minutes) and will be interspersed with 48 hours of recovery.
Experimental: Multimodal training (MT)
Multimodal training (MT) will combine cardiovascular and resistance training interventions using the modalities described previously, but each component will be shortened to match the overall training duration (i.e., volume) among groups. The first part of each training session will always include three resistance exercises, which will be followed by 15-20 minutes of cardiovascular training performed on the total body recumbent stepper. Periodization will follow the same progression previously described for cardiovascular and resistance training, respectively, reaching vigorous intensity towards the end of the training period. Training sessions will include a five-minute warm-up and cool-down on the total body recumbent stepper. MT's sessions will approximately last 45 minutes (40 to 50 minutes) and will be interspersed with 48 hours of recovery.
No_intervention: Control condition (CON; waiting list)
The control condition (CON; waiting list) will receive no intervention (i.e., exercise) but usual care. Participants in the CON will be required to go about their normal life, maintaining their current physical activity levels until the end of the study. Then, they will be offered to join one of the training programs/condition.
