Experimental Treatment

Group I: Standard Hatha YogaExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

A yoga program adapted for those with PD will be used in the current study. It will be conducted over a 16-week period and consists of twice-weekly sessions lasting approximately one hour. The program will be based on principles of Hatha yoga which incorporate longer holds and deep breathing. Each session will include a warm-up, three yoga flows, a balance training section, and a cooldown phase. The first four weeks will emphasize proper alignment, breathing, and technique. Additionally, the classes will be led by a certified yoga instructor and include multiple on-site assistants to ensure a safe training environment. Participants will also be provided with assistive devices (i.e. chairs, yoga blocks, and blankets) if they are required.

Group II: Power Resisatnce TrainingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

: A high-velocity resistance (power) will be conducted over a 16-week period and consists of twice-weekly sessions lasting approximately one hour. Each training session will begin with a brief warm-up. Each session will consist of three sets of 10 repetitions each with 1.5 to 2- to minute rest periods between sets. Participants will be instructed to control the concentric and eccentric velocity of each exercise, with each phase lasting approximately two to three seconds. Exercise order will be randomized during each session and upper and lower body exercises will be alternated whenever possible.
