Blood Lactate Responses in Controls
This arm involves performing 5 sets of 1-minute squats with 1 minute of rest between each, and a finger prick before, after, and 10 minutes after the exercise in a PD population. One set of the squats will be performed on a whole body vibration plate (pro5 AIRdaptive Power Plate (Badhoevedorp, The Netherlands)), and one on the ground.
