Section 1: focus on adding exercise to their lifestyle - focus on general health and staying active. E.g. motor cognitive tasks, balance, gait, transfers and physical capacity training

Section 2: focus on exercises to target PD symptoms - including non-motor symptoms (depression, apathy, lack of motivation, sleep disturbances)

Section 3: use of exercise to manage progressive physical symptoms. Focus on training caregivers to help PwPD to do exercises.
