The purpose of the study is to compare the effectiveness and specificity of agility and cycling exercise training on balance and mobility outcomes in PD and age and gender matched healthy controls. The hypothesis is that due to being profoundly deconditioned, agility and cycling will be similarly effective in PD but agility will be more effective then cycling in healthy old adults, in improving mobility and balance.
