Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study evaluates the effect on Rock Steady Boxing (RSB) and PD SAFEx on Parkinson's disease.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Both interventions produce benefits to the PD population. PD SAFEx has been proven to improve the motor symptoms of PD. However, research still needs to be conducted on the PD specific benefits associated with RSB. As such it an RCT is necessary to compare the effects of both interventions.
