Abstract(s)
Já são reconhecidos benefícios ao exercício físico há muitos anos. Com o evoluir da ciência foram comprovados diversos benefícios, principalmente a nível da saúde. O exercício pode prevenir várias doenças, bem como ajudar a controlar e atrasar o avanço nos casos onde já possa existir a doença.
O Parkinson é a segunda doença neurodegenerativa mais comum, no mundo, e em Portugal existem cada vez mais pessoas a serem diagnosticadas com doença de Parkinson. Esta doença é caracterizada por se manifestar através de alterações funcionais e alterações não motoras. Não tem cura conhecida, mas existe medicação que ajuda a controlar alguns dos seus sintomas. Também o exercício pode ajudar no controlo de alguns sintomas e, mais que isso, pode ajudar na desaceleração da progressão da doença.
Este relatório é o culminar do trabalho realizado durante o estágio na Associação Portuguesa de Doentes de Parkinson, onde pude ter contacto com uma pequena parte da população com Doença de Parkinson de Lisboa, aprender sobre esta doença com especialistas de diferentes áreas e os próprios doentes e comprovar que o exercício realmente faz a diferença nesta população.

Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease in the world, and in Portugal the number of people diagnosed with Parkinson's disease is increasing. This disease is characterized by symptoms like functional changes and non-motor changes. There is no known cure, but there are medications that helps to control some of the symptoms. Exercise can also help control some symptoms and may help slow the progression of the disease. This report is the culmination of the work done during the master internship at the Portuguese Association of Parkinson's Patients, where I was able to contact with a small part of the population with Parkinson's Disease in Lisbon, to learn about this disease from specialists in different areas and the patients themselves, and prove that exercise can really makes a difference in this population.
