High-intensity, aerobic exercise.
"Aerobic exercise will blend unsupervised moderate and supervised high intensity exercise. It will consist of walking/jogging modalities, dependent on the subject's level of bradykinesia, paced by the subject's level of perceived exertion. The exercise protocol will be designed to target an total of at least 150 minutes of cardio exercise per week.~Exercise training will be performed 5 times per week for 6 weeks, consisting of 3 supervised high intensity sessions and 2 at home moderate intensity sessions. High intensity sessions will be performed on a treadmill at an intensity rating of \~ 15 and 17 on a rating of perceived exertion (RPE) scale of 6 to 20. The moderate intensity exercise will target an RPE of \~10 - 12 and participants will be asked to complete this on their own."
