Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to learn more about the effects of exercise on patients who have been recently diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (PD). The investigators are going to test two levels of exercise (moderate to vigorous) against no exercise. The investigators think that exercise may reduce the symptoms the of PD, and the investigators hope to learn what level of exercise will offer the most benefit.

Primary Outcome

To test whether individuals with de novo Parkinson's disease (naïve to drug treatment) can achieve the randomly assigned levels of mean exercise intensity (60-65% average HRmax or 80-85% average HRmax) and adhere to the exercise protocol.
