Brief summary
The purpose of the study is to compare the effectiveness and specificity of agility and cycling exercise training on balance and mobility outcomes in PD and age and gender matched healthy controls. The hypothesis is that due to being profoundly deconditioned, agility and cycling will be similarly effective in PD but agility will be more effective then cycling in healthy old adults, in improving mobility and balance.
Interventions
OTHERRehabilitation
Healthy cycling group: The group participates in 5 weeks of intensive cycling therapy. Healthy xbox group: The group participates in 5 week intensive xbox therapy Healthy controll group: The group does not take any kind of therapy. PD group: We have already analyzed the results of our group, and we will compare their results with the results of healthy groups.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Postural instability | 5 weeks | Body sway (mm) (Posturography test) |
| quality of life | 5 weeks | EQ-5D (EQ-5D was first introduced in 1990 by the EuroQol Group, The EQ-5D questionnaire is made up for two components; health state description and evaluation) |
| balance test | 5 weeks | Berg Balance test (The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) was developed to measure balance among older people with impairment in balance function by assessing the performance of functional tasks, 41-56 = low fall risk, 21-40 = medium fall risk, 0 -20 = high fall risk ) |
| mobility test | 5 weeks | Six minutes walk test (6MWT) (m) (The six-minute walk test (6MWT) measures the distance an individual is able to walk over a total of six minutes on a hard, flat surface. The goal is for the individual to walk as far as possible in six minutes. The individual is allowed to self-pace and rest as needed as they traverse back and forth along a marked walkway) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| depression scale | 5 weeks | Beck Depression scale (The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) is a 21-item, self-report rating inventory that measures characteristic attitudes and symptoms of depression, 0-13: minimal depression, 14-19: mild depression, 20-28: moderate depression, 29-63: severe depression) |
