Effects of exercise intensity on cognitive function in people with Parkinson's disease

This study explores how cycling at different intensities affects cognitive performance, brain blood flow, and certain blood markers related to brain health in people with Parkinsons. Participants will complete three testing visits: one without exercise, one with moderate-intensity cycling, and one with high-intensity cycling. We will test memory, attention, and visuospatial abilities, as well as brain blood flow and blood protein levels before and after each session.
