“…The main form of treatment for PD is pharmacological, but numerous problems with this form of treatment have been identified making longterm management of the disease challenging [2][3][4][5]. As a result, physical exercise has been investigated as an adjunct to medication use to try and improve the lives of those with PD.…”

“…Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease which affects dopamineproducing brain cells and causes movement disorders such as bradykinesia, muscular rigidity, postural instability, and tremors (Chaudhuri, Healy, & Schapira, 2006;Chenoweth, Sheriff, McAnally, & Tait, 2013;Horstink et al, 2006). PD is one of the most common movement disorders and currently has no cure (Ceravolo, Pagni, Tognoni, & Bonuccelli, 2012), however PD patients can manage their symptoms through regular physical activity (PA) as long-term management of the disease can be challenging solely through pharmacological treatments (Connolly & Lang, 2014;Kessler & Rezak, 2007;Rascol et al, 2003;Tetrud, 2004;Ward & Robertson, 2004).…”

Physical activity (PA) can benefit individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD), however, many individuals tend to be sedentary. This qualitative study explored factors influencing PA behaviour for individuals with PD using the social ecological model. Twelve individuals with PD took part in semi-structured interviews. Data were thematically analysed. Results suggest that individuals with PD experience several constraining and facilitating factors to PA behaviour. Intrapersonal constraints revolved around uncertainties that PA is beneficial for individuals with PD, a lack of interest in available PA programs, and disease-specific issues whereas intrapersonal facilitators included prior experiences of enjoyment in PA, seeing improvements, and wanting to maintain independence. Interpersonal constraints related to lacking social support and perceived stigma whereas interpersonal facilitators were, passionate PA program staff, and being active with similar others. Environmental constraints pertained to PA programs failing to adapt program activities, lack of time, and transportation accommodations, whereas environmental facilitators were exposure to non-traditional PA programs, access to resources on PA, and accessibility to community PA programs. Findings highlight the need to address factors influencing PA behaviour for individuals with PD.
