To verify the effects of a multimodal exercise program on balance and motor functions, and the differences by sex, in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods: The intervention study, was composed of 16 people with PD, that were assessed before and after 16 weeks of interventions with the multimodal exercise program. The effects were analyzed generally and by sex, using the Wilcoxon Test. The significance level was established at 5%. Results:Overall, there was an improvement in the strength of the lower limbs (LL) (p = 0.035) and upper limbs (UL) (p = 0.009), functional mobility (p = 0.003), gait (p = 0.050), balance (p = 0.001) and in motor scores of UPDRS III (p = 0.005), which categorize motor symptoms of the disease. In regards to sex, women affected muscle strength (p = 0.044) and flexibility of LL (p = 0.028), gait (p = 0.018), and motor aspects of the UPDRS III (p = 0.042). The men presented effects in muscle strength of the UL (p = 0.042). Women and men had a significant increase in functional mobility (p = 0.046 and p = 0.027, respectively) and in balance (p = 0.012 and p = 0.042, respectively). There was no significant difference for both sexes, in body mass and the reach behind the backtest. Conclusion: the multimodal exercise program contributed to the improvement in motor function and balance in men and women with PD. Nevertheless, the effects were more significant in women. The comprehension of the differences between men and women grants us a more directional and efficient approach to their treatment.
