Arms

  • Experimental: Barre class
    Barre is an exercise modality that combines elements of classical ballet with strength training. Barre involves high repetitions of low impact, isometric movements, requires little to no equipment, and is highly modifiable for different fitness levels. Barre is traditionally performed in a class setting, which promotes increased social interaction and builds community. Furthermore, interventions with dance elements exhibit high adherence rates (often \> 80%).The exercises in a barre class are also performed holding on to a fixed barre or on the floor, which may address people with PD's fear of falling.
