Abstract in brief

  • This study compared the effects of boxing and sensory exercises on motor symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease over a 20-week period, finding that both activities showed immediate benefits, with sensory exercises providing more lasting improvements compared to boxing.
  • Participants who engaged in sensory exercises continued to show improvements in motor symptoms even after the intervention ended, suggesting these benefits may be sustained longer than those from boxing.
  • The researchers recommend that future Parkinson's rehabilitation studies include follow-up assessments to determine whether the positive effects of such exercises persist after the program concludes.
