Study aim: To determine the comparative effects of high and low intensity resistance training on balance and fatigue perception in patients with Parkinson's disease. Design: Parallel group, single-blind, randomized controlled trial on 44 individuals Settings and conduct: A study was conducted in Physiotherapy Department at District Headquarter Hospital (DHQ) Sheikhupura. A single blinded study and participants were blinded through chit method. Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria: Inclusion criteria: both male and female; 50-65 years old people; Parkinson's disease. Exclusion criteria: cognitive impairments; diagnosed by any other neurological conditions. Intervention groups: Patients allocated to Group A performed a low-intensity exercise program that included breathing, stretching, and relaxation in a sitting position twice a week for 12 consecutive weeks. In contrast, Participants located in Group B went through high-intensity exercises with Thera-bands twice a week for 12 consecutive weeks with individualized progression. Each session ended up in 60 min. The standard training program included a 5-10 min warm-up session, core activities, and a 5-min cool-down. Outcomes were measured by two scales, Mini-Bestest and Revised Piper Fatigue Scale. Main outcome variables: Dynamic balance (sensory orientation; dynamic gate; postural instability; anticipatory transitions); Fatigue perception (behavioral/severity; affective meaning; sensory; cognitive/mood).
