High-Intensity Exercise Reverses Parkinson's Neurodegeneration

A new pilot study suggests that high-intensity exercise may reverse Parkinson’s disease-related neurodegeneration by preserving and strengthening dopamine-producing neurons in the brain. The study, involving 10 patients, showed that after six months of high-intensity aerobic exercise, the neurons had grown healthier and produced stronger dopamine signals. This pioneering research offers new hope for managing Parkinson's disease through physical activity and highlights the importance of including an exercise regimen as part of the treatment plan.
