The benefits of physical exercise for psychological aspects of quality of life (QoL) are well established in normally ageing adults, yet potential benefits for people with Parkinson's disease (PD) have received limited attention. This study evaluated the benefits of exercise for cognitive functioning, mood and disease-specific QoL for people with PD.
Twenty-eight individuals with PD were allocated to an exercise intervention program (EIP, n = 15) or control group (n = 13). The EIP group undertook a programme of progressive anabolic and aerobic exercise twice weekly for 12 weeks. The control group maintained their usual lifestyle.
Exercise was shown to have selective benefits for cognitive functioning by improving frontal lobe based executive function. No significant effects were demonstrated for mood or disease-specific QoL.
These results are consistent with previous research demonstrating selective benefits of exercise for executive function among normal ageing adults and PD.
体力活动对生活质量（QoL）心理方面的益处已在正常衰老的成年人中得到充分证实，而对帕金森病（PD）患者的潜在益处却受到了有限的关注。本研究评估了运动对 PD 患者认知功能、情绪和特定疾病 QoL 的益处。
将 28 名 PD 患者分配到运动干预计划（EIP，n = 15）或对照组（n = 13）。EIP 组每周进行两次渐进性合成代谢和有氧运动，持续 12 周。对照组保持他们的日常生活方式。
运动对认知功能有选择性益处，改善了额叶为主的执行功能。对情绪或特定疾病的 QoL 没有显著影响。
这些结果与先前的研究一致，即运动对正常衰老成年人和 PD 患者的执行功能有选择性益处。
