Compare the Effects of Agility and Cycling Exercise Training on Mobility and Balance in PD and Healthy Old Adults

April 26, 2020 updated by: Tollár József, Somogy Megyei Kaposi Mór Teaching Hospital
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.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Healthy cycling group
During a 5-week intervention, we examine the patients' balance, postural control, quality of life and mobility. Then there is a bicycle every 1 hour.

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.

Other Names:
  • Healthy cycling group
  • Healthy xbox group
  • PD group
Experimental: Healthy xbox group
During a 5-week intervention, we examine the patients' balance, postural control, quality of life and mobility. Then they will train 1 hour every day on an xbox program.

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.

Other Names:
  • Healthy cycling group
  • Healthy xbox group
  • PD group
No Intervention: Healthy controll group
During a 5-week intervention, we examine the patients' balance, postural control, quality of life and mobility. Thereafter, the group does not move only in everyday life.
Experimental: PD groupe

Patients with PD have already been evaluated and compared to the results of a healthy group within a separate experiment.

The study and the results have been completed. Clinical trial number:NCT03193268

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.

Measure Description
Time Frame
Postural instability
Time Frame: 5 weeks
Body sway (mm) (Posturography test)
5 weeks
quality of life
Time Frame: 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)
5 weeks
balance test
Time Frame: 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 )
5 weeks
mobility test
Time Frame: 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)
