Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Objective: the present study will evaluate the impact of three months physical exercise training program followed by a group-long walking on motor impairment in PD.
Methods:
PD patients will be randomized in two arms: one group will be assessed to a training exercise program of three months followed by long-walking in group under the support of physician/physiotherapist and caregivers. A complete motor, cognitive and general assessment will be performed at baseline. The patients will be evaluated under supervised an unsupervised conditions at baseline, before the long-walking, during the walking and after 2 months after the walk.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Physical exercise program and Long-walking
A physical training will be started three months before the long-walking. The subjects will have to walk for at least 3 hours per week up to 6 hours per week during the training. THe long-distance capacity will be verified in 3 different one-day walking of 10, 15 and 18 Km before the long-walking performance.
The long-walking will be organized with the support of a physician, study nurse, physiotherapy with car support in case of need. The subject are request to complete the walk of 104 Km of Portuguese route of Santiago de Compostela walk.
Exercise program followed by long walk in group

Usual care
The subjects will be followed according to current standard.
No interventions assigned to this group
Control group-intervention
A physical training will be started three months before the long-walking. The subjects will have to walk for at least 3 hours per week up to 6 hours per week during the training. THe long-distance capacity will be verified in 3 different one-day walking of 10, 15 and 18 Km before the long-walking performance.
The long-walking will be organized with the support of a physician, study nurse, physiotherapy with car support in case of need. The subject are request to complete the walk of 104 Km of Portuguese route of Santiago de Compostela walk.
Exercise program followed by long walk in group (controls)
The controls matched for age will perform the same exercise program and long walk as the PD subjects
