Scientists Say Exercise May Be the Closest Thing to a Parkinson’s “Medicine” Yet

UNLV researchers say sustained aerobic exercise may help slow Parkinson’s disease progression.

The potential benefits include higher BDNF, lower brain inflammation, and better support for brain health.

The team is testing which exercises and intensities work best, including walking, cycling, dancing, boxing, and strength training.

Because Parkinson’s has no cure, exercise could become an important complement to medical care.
