Parkinson's Disease.
Conditions
Interventions
The interventions will be in an aquatic environment, in a heated pool at around 33oC, and proposed in small groups of participants. They are scheduled to take place in 24 meetings, over 3 months, in t
PARDO, 2000), as prone trunk extension exercises with floating support material.
In the phase of global organic conditioning, the aim is to improve or maintain the cardiorespiratory condition. Active

Eligibility
Age
60 Years to No maximum
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: The inclusion criteria will be both genders; with clinical diagnosis of idiopathic PD within the stages 1 to 4 on the Hoehn and Yahr scale gravity; obtain the clinical certificate for aquatic physical activity and to attend heated swimming pool.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: The exclusion criteria will be: not to present independent gait, related or not to PD; another disease that could interfere with physical assessments, such as changes in the balance of vestibular origin; visual or auditory sensory deficit that impedes accompanying verbal and visual instructions; any respiratory clinic or cardiovascular disease; history of pulmonary surgery; recent respiratory tract infection; do not agree with the consent term; relatives contraindication to frequent heated pool, such as fever, incontinence, severe blood pressure alteration, open wound; absence of more than 10% of the intervention; change in L-dopa-based drug intake parameters during the study period.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected Outcome 1: Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), proportion of FEV1 to FVC (FEV1 | CVF), maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV), all evaluate for espirometer (non-invasive pulmonary function test). Statistical analysis will indicate if there was, on average, a statistical difference between before and after the exercises.;Expected Outcome 2: The maximum inspiratory pressure (Pi max) and maximum expiratory pressure (Pe max) will be evaluated, using an analogue Manuvacuometer apparatus, to quantify the inspiratory and expiratory force, respectively. Statistical analysis will indicate if there was, on average, a statistical difference between before and after the exercises. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected Outcome 3: The six-minute walk test (6MWT) for the assessment of physical capacity. Because it is submaximal, easy to perform, low complexity, and does not require expensive equipment in clinical practice. Statistical analysis will indicate if there was, on average, a statistical difference between before and after the exercises.;Expected Outcome 4: The timed up and go. This test is commonly used in clinical practice, able to assess balance and mobility in PD. Statistical analysis will indicate if there was, on average, a statistical difference between before and after the exercises.;Expected Outcome 5: Human Activity Profile (PAH) This instrument performs the evaluation of functional level and physical activity, based on self-reported performance, culturally adapted for the Brazilian population. Statistical analysis will indicate if there was, on average, a statistical difference between before and after the exercises.;Expected Outcome 6: International Physical Activity Questionnaire - IPAQ. self-reported instrument of physical activity. Statistical analysis will indicate if there was, on average, a statistical difference between before and after the exercises.;Expected Outcome 7: Dynamometry of palmar grip. The strength of upper limbs will be estimated by gauging the grip on an analog dynamometer, describing the values in Kgf. Statistical analysis will indicate if there was, on average, a statistical difference between before and after the exercises. | — |
