IntroductionExercise is a recognized treatment for people with Parkinson's Disease (PwP), but personal exercise preferences are rarely considered in exercise intervention studies. Yet these are critical for understanding motivation and to ascertain long-term exercise adherence in PwP. This study compared preferred exercise types among PwP with exercise types investigated in prior research.Method672 PwP participated in an online survey, answering questions about currently practiced and preferred exercise types. Besides, a brief review was performed, evaluating exercise types deployed in prior studies. The preferred exercise types of PwP were subsequently compared to exercise types used in prior research.ResultsPwP mainly preferred the same exercises that they were currently practicing. These preferences did not necessarily align with exercise types reported in prior studies. The top 5 highly preferred sport categories but relatively little studied were walking, biking, swimming, boxing, and tennis.ConclusionFuture intervention studies may benefit from considering personal preferences to both strengthen and understand exercise adherence.
