A multifaceted exercise intervention did not alter cognitive function and cerebral perfusion in individuals with Parkinson's disease

To investigate cerebral perfusion as a potential mechanism of exercise-related cognitive improvements and to further associate cognition and cerebral perfusion in Parkinson's disease. Cerebral perfusion was measured continuously at rest and during a cognitive task using near-infrared spectroscopy before and after a multifaceted exercise program in thirteen individuals with Parkinson's disease. Cognitive function was not significantly impaired in...
