No study has examined the effects of VBT on performance in persons with Parkinson\u2019s disease (PD). <strong>OBJECTIVE<\/strong>: To compare the effects of thrice weekly 10% and 30% velocity threshold protocols on changes in functional performance, strength, and power in persons with PD following 12 weeks of VBT. <strong>METHODS<\/strong>: Training involved 3 sets of 8 repetitions on ten exercises using HUR computerized pneumatic machines (HUR USA, Park Ridge, IL). Data collected before and after training included the 6-m walk test at habitual (6MWT-H) and maximal (6MWT-M) gait speeds, the 5 time sit-to-stand (5xSTS), 1 repetition maximum (1RM) and power testing for the chest-press (CP) and leg-press (LP) exercises. <strong>RESULTS<\/strong>: All data were assessed using repeated measures ANOVAs. A main effect for time was seen in the 5xSTS with pairwise comparisons revealing and improvement through a reduction in completion time (Mdiff\u00b1SE= -1.480\u00b1.451s; p=.005). A time main effect was observed in 6MWT-M. Pairwise comparison showed a decrease in time to completion (-.406\u00b1.078s, p&lt;.001). 1RM for both CP and LP showed time main effects. Pairwise comparisons indicated increases in CP (5.095\u00b11.141kg, p=.001) and LP (12.587\u00b13.724kg, p=.004). A main effect for time was observed for LP-power, with pairwise comparison revealing a significant increase (43.644\u00b113.155W, p=.006). <strong>CONCLUSION<\/strong>: VBT is an effective training modality for improving functional capacity, strength, and power in persons with PD independent of the velocity threshold used.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Velocity-based training (VBT) is a unique resistance-training technique, predominantly used by high-level athletes, which utilizes movement velocity rather than load to dictate progressions.
