The aerobic capacity of individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) has not been characterized. This study (1) compared maximal exercise performance in individuals with and without PD, (2) compared exercise performance during upper- and lower-extremity exercise, and (3) described submaximal exercise responses.
Eight men with PD (PD group) and 7 men without PD (control group) participated.
Subjects performed a lower-extremity ergometer test (LE test) and an arm-cranking ergometer test (AC test). Peak oxygen consumption, heart rate, respiratory exchange ratio, and power, as well as submaximal values of oxygen consumption and heart rate for each power level, were recorded.
No differences were found between the groups for either test. Peak power was less for the PD group than for the control group for both tests. Submaximal heart rate and oxygen consumption were higher for the PD group than for the control group.
We conclude that individuals with mild to moderate PD can be tested with both exercise protocols to a peak exercise capacity and that there are differences in upper- and lower-extremity peak power and submaximal responses between persons with and without PD.
帕金森病（PD）患者的有氧能力尚未得到明确描述。本研究（1）比较了PD患者与非PD患者的最大运动表现，（2）比较了上下肢运动时的运动表现，（3）描述了次最大运动反应。
8名男性PD患者（PD组）和7名无PD的男性（对照组）参与研究。
受试者进行下肢测力计测试（LE测试）和手摇臂测力计测试（AC测试）。记录峰值耗氧量、心率、呼吸交换率和功率，以及每个功率水平下次最大耗氧量和心率值。
两组在任何一项测试中均未发现差异。在两项测试中，PD组的峰值功率均低于对照组。PD组的次最大心率和耗氧量高于对照组。
我们得出结论，轻至中度PD患者可以通过两种运动方案测试至最大运动能力，并且PD患者与非PD患者在上下肢峰值功率和次最大反应方面存在差异。
