Cycling Benefits Parkinson’s Patients

Up to 98% of all people with Parkinson’s experience slowness of movement. Bradykinesia is one of the early signs of a movement disorder such as Parkinson’s or parkinsonism. It is caused by reduced levels of dopamine in the brain and is often first noticed by family and friends.

In a 2013 study published in Brain Connectivity, mentioned that cycling three times per week at 80 to 90 rpm decreased the shuffling gait, tremors, and muscle stiffness of Parkinson’s disease as much as medication. It’s RPM Rx.

Exercise will not alter the progression of Parkinson’s but it is essential for maintaining your quality of life. Body Charger GB7009 Total Body Trainer Pro can do cycling motion which leads to changes in the neural network that sends motor signals to both the arms and legs.
