Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Health-related physical activity and tourism for individuals with Parkinson's disease represent a significant and growing field aimed at improving the quality of life and well-being of those affected by this condition. Both physical activity and tourism offer potential psychological and social benefits. The diverse settings and activities associated with tourism serve as unique stimuli that effectively encourage individuals with PD to sustain an active lifestyle.
This Special Issue will be dedicated to new perspectives in the following areas:
- Health-related physical activity interventions tailored for patients with Parkinson's disease;
- Physical activity for improving the quality of life and well-being;
- The benefits and challenges of therapeutic tourism for individuals with Parkinson's disease;
- Accessible travel and tourism strategies;
- The impact of physical activity on mental health and social well-being in Parkinson's disease;
- Case studies and best practices in implementing physical activity and tourism programs for patients with Parkinson's disease.
The Special Issue focuses on these topics and aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of how physical activity and tourism can independently enhance the health and quality of life of people with Parkinson's disease.
