Abstract

Introduction: Parkinson's disease (DP) is characterized by motor disorders, increasing risk of falls and physical inactivity. Objective: To analyze the anthropometric profile and body composition of subjects before and after participating in a Nordic Walking (NW) or Free Walking (FW) training program. Methods: A total of 33 patients were randomized into two experimental groups, NW (n = 16) and FW (n = 17), to perform the 12 training sessions. Results: Waist-hip ratio was reduced (2.2%, p = 0.022) for FW. The total number of skinfolds was reduced by 4.3% in the NW group (p = 0.012) and 4.7% in the FW group (p = 0.012). However, the training period did not promote significant changes in body mass (p = 0.808), in IMC (p = 0.392), lean mass (p = 0.834), adipose mass (p = 0.721) and bone mass (p = 0.348), nor in the percentages of adipose mass (p = 0.887) in any of the groups. Conclusion: The training promoted an effective anthropometric improvement for both groups.
