there was that study i think it was jama medicine the one that was published in december 2017 where they did the dose response and intensity of exercise they took parkinson's patients and had a group of them you know basically not do any exercise another group did moderate intense so they were doing about 60 to 65 maximum heart rate and the other one was high intense where they're about 80 to 85 again people that aren't measuring their heart rate you know when you're sweating and you're flush i mean that's kind of a good indicator when you don't when you feel uncomfortable because you're pushing it right exactly that's a good example this was a six month trial and the people that did not exercise according to the the various um uh the tests that they measure for disease progression and we talked a little bit about this there may be you know there's some caveats there but according to that you know tests they do um the people that did not exercise progressed 15 percent worse over the six-month trial the ones that did moderate intensity progressed 7.5 so about half of what the ones that didn't exercise and the people that did high intensity had zero progression over six months
