Intensive exercise slows the course of Parkinson’s disease, study finds

Neuroscientists from the Faculty of Medicine of the Catholic University, Rome Campus, and the A. Gemelli IRCCS Polyclinic Foundation found that intensive exercise could slow the course of Parkinson’s disease and described the biological mechanisms. The finding could pave the way in which for brand spanking new non-drug approaches. The study “Intensive exercise ameliorates motor […]
