From the authors: “This randomized controlled trial documents that supervised high-intensity strength training improves efferent neural drive, maximal muscle strength, rate of force development and functional performance in patients with Parkinson´s disease.”
This study is highlighted as one of October’s “best of the best” as part of the American Physiological Society’s APSselect program.
