Engaging in tandem cycling exercise, a stationary activity designed for two individuals to pedal together, could enhance the health and overall well-being of both individuals with Parkinson's disease and their care partners, a new study revealed.
The responsibility of caring for individuals with Parkinson's disease often takes a toll on caregivers, impacting them both physically and emotionally. In the small-scale study, researchers examined how engaging in a simple exercise together such as tandem cycling could benefit a patient who suffers from this degenerative brain disorder and the caretakers.
