Boxing

Boxing has emerged as a popular and feasible exercise intervention for people with Parkinson’s disease. Clinical research indicates that boxing, often performed in group settings with PD-specific modifications, can improve balance, physical fitness, and quality of life - although the improvements may be modest and vary by individual. Adding techniques like kicking does not significantly enhance benefits but can increase exercise variety and motivation. Safety is generally good, with few adverse events reported in supervised programs.
